Tourist boat sank in the port of Killini

A tourist boat moored at the Killini fishing shelter sank on Easter night.

According to the information provided iefimerida.gr, citing ilialive, in the morning, local residents and port officials realized what had happened and immediately implemented a plan to eliminate marine pollution from boat fuels and lubricants by installing floating dams. The event was successfully implemented, officials said.

According to local media reports, a small pleasure boat likely hit the rocks (because strong winds prevailed in the area), resulting in a hole. Through the resulting small gap (or crack), water slowly began to flow into the boat, which led to its flooding a few days later.
