Container ship adrift in Greek waters

On Apr 20, 2017, the "MSC Mirella" lost propulsion seven miles SW of the island of Milos with a crew of 27 on board and went adrift enroute from Piraeus to Mersin. Salvors of Vernicos Tugs & Salvage were contracted to take the ship in tow and deployed two tugs. The "MSC Ravenna" (IMO: 9484431) which had sailed from Piraeus at 8.30 a.m., went on standby at the vessel.
