On May 1, 2022, at noon, the Port Authority of Lavrio received an urgent report regarding the pleasure boat 'Eleonora', which was carrying three individuals and experiencing water ingress in the Saronic Gulf. In response, a coordinated rescue effort ensued, deploying two patrol boats along with the ferry 'Blue Star Naxos', as well as the vessels 'Star Power', 'SI SOS 1', and 'Panbagiota 2' to the distress location. Thankfully, the 'Eleonora' was located promptly, and the crew was found to be in good health. The vessel was subsequently towed to the port of Keratsini, where it was lifted out of the water using a crane vehicle, ensuring a safe resolution to the incident.

In a recent maritime transaction, a vessel has been sold for an estimated $4 million to Malaysian buyers specializing in bitumen. This sale reflects the ongoing demand for maritime assets in the region and highlights the active role of Malaysian companies in the shipping industry. The acquisition is poised to enhance the fleet capabilities of the buyers and contribute to their operations in bitumen transportation.
