Divers retrieved the body of the "Alpha 1"'s captain on Mar 5, 2012, while its 10 other crew members were rescued. One of them was taken to hospital as a precaution owing to a prior heart ailment. No oil had so far been spotted leaking from the ship, which may have hit a wreck in the shallow bay of Eleusina where the tanker was coming from. It was carrying 1,800 tonnes of fuel oil and nearly 240 tonnes of diesel. The bunker tanker all in a sudden ran into problems in calm seas at about 10:30 a.m. An oil boom has been placed around the capsized ship which remained partially visible in order to contain any oil spills.
