The 146 meter long, 2775 dwt ro-ro passenger ferry Blue Star Patmos ran aground on the Aegean Sea off Ios, Greece. The ferry was entering the port with 205 passengers, 33 vehicles and 44 crew when it grounded just offshore. The Blue Star Patmos sustained hull damage and water ingress, but the vessel’s pumps were able to control the flooding.  No reports of injuries. All passengers were safely transferred ashore.

Authorities were contacted and divers were requested to survey the hull to assess the extent of damage. No reports of pollution.

There will be an update for our shipwreck app coming next week.   This should improve the viewing of photographs and we hope to get the notifications working as well.  You can download our iPhone app for free until March 15, 2012.  We will have an iPad version later this month.
