What Crew Members Say About Yannis

On May 23, 2024, the bulk carrier 'Yannis' was the target of a missile strike while navigating southwest of Hodeidah, Yemen. Fortunately, the attack, which occurred 68 nautical miles (125 kilometers) offshore, resulted in no injuries or damage to the vessel. Owned and operated by Eastern Mediterranean Maritime Limited, a prominent Greek shipping company, the 'Yannis' was en route from Novorossiysk to Mombasa at the time of the incident. The missile landed in the surrounding waters, ensuring the safety of the crew and the ship as they continue their journey to the next port.

In a significant transaction in the maritime sector, Greek buyers have successfully purchased the vessels Sanko Marble and Sanko Mercury through an en bloc sale, with the total deal amounting to $60 million. This acquisition highlights the ongoing interest of Greek investors in expanding their fleet capabilities within the competitive shipping industry.
