Two tankers, “Amelia” and “Tanab” collided off Karystos, Greece. First information reports that no crew was injured, while there was no pollution as well.
The Malaysia-flagged “Amelia” was carrying 24 crew at the time of the incident, and the Malta-flagged “Tanab” 16. All of them are now reported safe.
After the collision, boats of the Greek Coast went on the scene to investigate. After some time, the Masters of the ships assured the authorities that the tankers could sail on their own power.
However, the ships are not yet allowed to leave, waiting confirmation for their seaworthiness.
At the time of the collision, “Amelia” was carrying 30.000 metric tons of gasoil.
