Complete Maritime Profile & Reviews of Cat-I

On July 18, 2024, at precisely 10:30 a.m., the Master of the vessel 'Cat I' reported a malfunction in the starboard main engine while navigating from Kythnos to Serifos. The crew successfully steered the ship to the port of Serifos, where all passengers disembarked safely. Following the incident, the Port Authority of Serifos placed a temporary ban on the vessel's departure, awaiting the submission of a maintenance certificate from its overseeing classification society. After this documentation was provided, the 'Cat I' was granted permission for a one-time voyage to the port of Laurium, but without passengers or cargo onboard.

Currently, several vessels are laid up at the Ambelaki and Kynosoura repair docks located on Salamina Island. These facilities serve as a strategic point for maritime repairs and maintenance, ensuring that ships remain in optimal condition when not in active service.
