Two high-speed ferries collide in Piraeus port, no injuries reported
Two high-speed ferries collided while sailing out of Piraeus port on Thursday, luckily without any injuries.
The collision was between the catamaran-style ferry "Jet-1" with 307 passengers on board, heading for the islands of Sifnos, Milos, Ios and Thira, and the hydrofoil "Athina" with 60 passengers, bound for Agistri and Aigina.
Both the "Athina" and "Jet-1" were temporarily forbidden to sail until inspections of the damage sustained are carried out.
Some of the passengers were reimbursed for their tickets after the accident while those still wanting to travel were taken to their destination in the high-speed ferry "Speed Runner" for passengers of the "Jet-1" and in another hydrofoil for passengers of the "Athina".
