Ferry Evacuation in Evia: Passengers Allege Crew Absence, Private Boat Owner Questioned by Authorities
Evia, Greece – Passengers aboard a ferry near Evia, Greece, experienced an unexpected evacuation yesterday evening, prompting concerns about maritime safety and emergency protocols. Video footage captured by a passenger, @eirianna, shows individuals wearing life jackets and being transferred from the large vessel to smaller boats. According to the video's overlay text, a private boat owner played a crucial role in safely disembarking passengers. However, upon reaching shore, the port authority reportedly approached the assisting boat owner to inquire about his vessel's license, rather than acknowledging his aid. The passenger also claimed that the ferry's crew was 'nowhere to be found' during the incident, and passengers were left to retrieve and don their own life jackets. Comments on the video suggest this may not be an isolated incident, with one user recalling a previous occasion where the same ferry reportedly experienced a malfunction, causing it to collide with a port. Another comment clarified that the port authority might have been conducting a passenger count rather than solely questioning the license. Authorities have yet to release an official statement regarding the incident, but the video has sparked public discussion about the preparedness and responsiveness of ferry operators and port authorities in emergency situations.
