On March 28, 2023, the cargo vessel 'Neptun', carrying 1,300 tons of potatoes and a crew of 13, encountered serious engine issues while navigating near Skiathos. The vessel was originally traveling from Nemrut Bay to Thessaloniki when it experienced the failure. Prompt assistance came from the tug 'Christos XXIX', which towed the disabled ship to Thessaloniki's anchorage, where it dropped anchor at coordinates 40° 36.00' N, 022° 55.29' E at 3:35 PM. Following an inspection by the Thessaloniki Port Authority, significant deficiencies were found in accordance with Annex X to CO 2009/16/EC, leading to a prohibition on sailing and the imposition of administrative penalties. On the morning of March 30, the tugs ‘Vernicos Liberty’ (IMO: 9417866) and ‘Christos XLIV’ (IMO: 9251975) were tasked with towing the 'Neptun' towards Thessaloniki's port for further evaluation and repairs.
