Complete Maritime Profile & Reviews of Gerani

On November 26, 2023, the local authorities of Kavala and Thassos received a report about an 82-year-old fisherman who went missing while fishing near Perijalos, Kavala. In response, two Coast Guard patrol boats, along with several other vessels, were deployed to search the area. Thankfully, the missing fisherman was found safe and sound by the tanker 'Gerani,' which played a crucial role in the search and rescue (SAR) operation. The offshore support vessel 'Energean Wave' facilitated the rescue by transporting the fisherman back to the port of Kavala. Following his retrieval, he was taken to a local hospital via ambulance for precautionary check-ups. The 'Energean Wave' also assisted by towing the fisherman’s boat ashore, ensuring a safe return for all involved.

On the morning of November 3, 2021, a mechanical failure forced the tanker 'Geradni', which was traveling from Thessaloniki, to become disabled in the waters of Steno Kafireas. The situation came to light when the Joint Rescue Coordination Center (JRCC) notified the Port Authorities of Rafina, Lavrio, Karystos, and Andros regarding the incident involving the ship, which had 14 crew members aboard. Fortunately, the crew members quickly diagnosed the problem and performed the necessary repairs. Afterward, 'Geradni' successfully navigated to the anchorage at Agios Theodoros. However, the Port Authority of Corinth has mandated that the vessel remain docked until a certificate of seaworthiness and classification maintenance is presented by the relevant classification society. As of November 5, the ship’s coordinates are recorded at position 37° 54.50' N and 023° 04.25' E, indicating its current stationary status.
