A passenger vessel with a total of 253 people on board ran aground off Tinos island in the Aegean Sea on Sunday, the Greek Coast Guard said.
No injuries have been reported while an evacuation operation was underway.
The Flying Cat 4 with 239 passengers and 14 member crew, which had departed from Rafina port to final destination Santorini island, ran aground just outside the island's port due to fog, according to early information.
No injuries or severe damage have been reported. Shipping boats and speedboats have reached the area to help evacuate the ship, while a tug boat was on the way, local officials said. Endi
