Hellenic Seaways Nissos Chios gick på ett rev i lördags. Senare samma dag lyckades Highspeed 5 kollidera med henne. Dramatiska bilder och video:

Från Ferries of Southern Europe:
It appears the Nissos Chios, on Saturday's scheduled Myteline-Chios- Tinos-Piraeus run, ran into a reef near Tinos in high winds.

The ship was then diverted to Syros, where there is a shipyard and the nearby Blue Star Naxos and Theologos P were instructed to accompany her. The Nissos Chios approached the port with a list and down at the stern and was bundled onto a berth with tug assistance after which passengers and vehicles were disembarked.

To cap a dismal day for HSW, later on the arriving Highspeed 5 promptly collided with the Nissos Chios, smashing the fast craft's port side bridge windows.

The sister to the Nissos Chios, the Nissos Mykonos, has been retrieved from lay up in Perama to cover. HSW's official press release doesn't give too much away:

Landstigningen på dessa färjor i den grekiska övärlden är ju ibland rätt märkliga,man blandar bilar,människor tampar och hysteriska besättningsmän som springer hit och dit.

Att Nissos Mykonos låg upplagd visar ju bara på krisen i grekisk färjenäring.

I filmen syns f ö också den upplagda Blue Horizon vid skeppsvarvet.
