What Crew Members Say About Nissos-Aegina

On April 4, 2024, a significant incident unfolded at the bustling port of Piraeus when the Master of the 'Nissos Aegina' notified the Central Port Authority about a malfunction affecting the vessel's electric winch responsible for mooring cables. Promptly responding to the situation, the Port Authority imposed a sailing ban on the ferry until necessary repairs were executed and a certificate of class maintenance was submitted by the overseeing classification society. Consequently, the ferry's planned journey from Piraeus to Aegina was canceled, leaving passengers in need of alternative arrangements. The owning company swiftly took action to facilitate the transfer of passengers to their intended destinations. After addressing the mechanical issues, the 'Nissos Aegina' successfully resumed its operations at 3:40 p.m. UTC, allowing for the resumption of regular service.

On March 19, 2024, the Central Port Authority of Piraeus received an urgent report from the Master of the 'Nissos Aegina'.
