Syros-Wind Vessel Reviews and Specifications

On May 5, 2019, the cargo vessel 'Syros Wind' encountered a perilous situation at the Serifos port as strong winds caused it to break away from its moorings. The incident unfolded in the morning when a bollard failed while the cargo ship was securely docked at the pier. As it began to drift, the gangway from the starboard side stern was left hanging into the turbulent waters. The ship’s crew struggled for over an hour against the rising waves in a bid to secure the vessel. During this tumultuous time, a brave individual on the jetty, who was identified as the deputy mayor of Serifos, took exceptional risks to assist in the situation. He worked tirelessly to release the remaining mooring lines, all while the quay was being inundated with strong waves. In a tense moment, a crew member had to jump onto the ship using a load-carrying dagger to regain control. Ultimately, their efforts paid off, and the 'Syros Wind' managed to sail away from the hazardous conditions to a safer location.
