Several minutes before noon, an alert was signaled in E4 pier at Piraeus Port, as the ship “Panagia Tinou” that was tied at the dock, started to tip and sink.
The inclination of the ship has been partially restored thanks to divers and towboats, who managed to bring the boat in line, so that engineers could enter and restore the rift. Afterwards, the water was taken out in order to tow the ship.
The ship was built in 1960 and in 1978 it was sold to Ventouris Shiplines, in order to conduct the itinerary Syros-Tinos-Mykonos. In 1981, it was given the name “Panagia Tinou.”.
