The Panagia Tinou had been docked in Piraeus since 2015 when it had been seized by authorities for unpaid debts.

This is not the first time the Panagia Tinou had been in trouble. On October 15, 1987, the ro-ro ferry had lost power when an alternator failed and was blown ashore east of Folkestone, England. The following year the ferry collided with a trawler off Boulogne, France.
