Greek ferryboat Eleftherios Venizelos evacuated after fire breaks out in the garage of the ship




Greek ferryboat Eleftherios Venizelos with 875 passengers on board was safely evacuated at the port of Piraeus Wednesday morning after a fire broke out in the garage of the ship.

The fire on Eleftherios Venizelos with destination Chania, Crete, probably started on a truck. The rescue and research operations centre was immediately informed and nine Coast Guard vessels, tugboats, a trunk vessel and three passenger ships rushed in the area.
The Fire Brigade also assisted with two ships and a special unit for disasters. All passengers are good in health and some of them have been transferred to nearby hotels.
