New details for the ferry line Greece-Italy, ‘Euroferry Olympia’ that was engulfed in flames in the early hours of this morning, while 11 people are reported missing.
Two people were found trapped inside and were trying to pull them out while explosions were heard from the ship’s garage.
There were 239 passengers and 51 crew members on board. The captain of the ferry demanded and ordered her abandonment and the passengers immediately boarded the lifeboats. Three Greek Coast Guard ships, tugboats and other nearby ships arrived at the scene immediately.
Meanwhile, two ships of the Albanian Coast Guard and a tugboat have started to help. The rescue operation is being pursued by the Greeks while our forces are assisting by staying away from the ship. According to the representatives of the armed forces, the Albanian ships are on standby and in rapid intervention. So far there has been no need for intervention. The ship has been relocated and is located between Himara and Portopalermo.
For an hour, the ferry entered the Albanian waters for 0.5 miles. The incident happened 9 miles from the shore outside our waters, while the work is being coordinated by the Navy, QNOD and the General Port Authority and the situation is being monitored at all times.
