On Mar 10, 2011, the "Vasilios N" reached Malta anchorage after it escaped the Libyan civil war after having been berthed in Misurat for 10 months.
As the navigational aids were out of order, the captain had to guide the ship by the postion of the stars.
The ship in May 2010 had transported construction goods to Libya but the cargo had suffered storm damage. The freight owner refused to receive the cargo thus, and the ship had remained in port since.
