Lad up ferry listing in Elefsina

In the night of Feb 28, 2019, the "Penelope A" developed a portside list of 9-10 degrees, and rested on a floating dock in the Gulf of Elefsina, an industrial area near Piraeus. The ship was in a lay-up since 2014, being owned by a Greek Bank. In 2013 she had been chartered to the NEL Lines but had to stay in the port of Rafina on July 1 as the crew went on strike due to unpaid wages. She did not return to service but was laid up in June 2014. She was moored alongside another laid up ferry, the "Mytilene" (IMO: 7332672). Divers were called to check the hull and assess general condition and stability, with tugs and a heavy lift crane placed on standby. The ferry recently was subject of an autction starting at 800.000 Euro. Photo: http://www.shipspotting.com/gallery/photo.php?lid=2974556
