Complete Maritime Profile & Reviews of Melina-Ii

In the early hours of April 5, 2021, the Port Authority of Thira received an alert from the Master of the 'Melina II' regarding an allision with the quay at the port of Athinios, caused by severe wave conditions. The incident resulted in the bow of the vessel striking the quay and detaching the ramp at its front end. Fortunately, there were no reported injuries or environmental pollution linked to the event. The 'Melina II' was carrying a crew of nine and was transporting nine empty cargo vehicles at the time. Subsequently, the Port Authority of Thira imposed a sailing ban on the vessel until repairs were completed and a maintenance certificate was provided by the relevant classification society. As of April 6, the ship remained docked at the port awaiting necessary inspections and repairs.

On February 10, 2015, the cargo vessel "Melina II" experienced significant engine issues while anchored off the picturesque island of Rineia. The vessel, which was carrying a crew of seven and no passengers, faced the ferocity of strong winds that caused its anchor chain to snap. This unforeseen event led to damage to the propeller and resulted in the shutdown of one of the ship's engines. Fortunately, the crew was unharmed, and no further incidents were reported during this unexpected maritime challenge.
