The 'Kapetan Christos' chas been forced by gale-force winds to seek shelter in Thessaloniki’s Thermaic Gulf while carrying 410 tons of explosive material from Crete. The ship was supposed to unload its dangerous cargo in Thessaloniki i n the morning of Jan 18, 2018, so it could be taken to a military facility in Serres where it will be stored safely. But gale-force winds prevented the Kapetan Christos from approaching the port and it remained in Thessaloniki’s bay, waiting for conditions to improve. The explosives were seized from the Tanzania-flagged 'Andromeda' that was intercepted last week off the coast of Crete and may have been bound for Libya.
