Update July 5th, 2001 from Dimitris Sinodinos (Amorgos Diving Center):
The vessel was set to ground on Aegiali Beach. In the evening the stern door could be closed manually by divers and three water pumps where installed to remove approximately 10 tons of water. Additionally the boat was balanced by shifting weight pumping fuel into different tanks. After this was done, the vessel was swimming safe on it’s own again, still waiting in Aegiali Port to get permitted to continue it’s cruise.
Fortunately not a driblet of the vessels’ 80 tons of fuel and 2 tons of oil leaked into the sea due to the resolutely effort Aegiali people offered spontanously!
Update July 12th, 2011: Antalis has left the port of Aegialis (check route on marinetraffic.com)

Wow! What a close call – any idea how this happened? If they’d been anchored at some distant point, no telling what would have happened. Hooray for the abilities of the folks in Aegiali. I gather from the webam that the craft has left Aegiali.

one of the stern doors was opened. it is a door like a small garage, where jetski and tender boat is stored. it could not be closed any more after water splashed through the open door.
i think the boat is still there and will be checked tomorrow by the boat company.
