Working Conditions Aboard the Janine

On March 2, the tugboat 'Panagia Faner' successfully refloated the cargo ship 'Von Perle' from its grounding location. Following the refloating operation, the vessel was relocated to Kós, Greece, where it anchored at the coordinates 36° 54.03' N 027° 18.00' E. The Harbour Master has temporarily suspended departure clearance until thorough inspections and damage assessments are conducted. Fortunately, there were no reported leaks or environmental pollution as a result of the grounding incident. After ensuring safety measures, the 'Von Perle' completed its journey, finally docking at the port of Famagusta on March 8 at noon.

On the morning of March 1, 2020, the cargo vessel 'Von Perle' encountered engine troubles while anchored near Bodrum to ride out a storm, ultimately drifting onto a beach along the northeast coast of Kos. The ship was carrying a significant cargo of 3,300 tons of corn and had eight crew members onboard at the time of the incident. Originating from Nikolayev, the vessel was on a journey to Famagusta, passing through Tilbury, Tuzla, and Istanbul. The grounding occurred at coordinates 36° 55.41' N 027° 16.64' E, where the 'Von Perle' came to rest on a sandy bottom, leaving its hull undamaged. To aid in the response, the tugs 'Antonios' and 'Pothitos' were dispatched to the scene to assist in stabilizing the situation.
