Videos on social media from the port of Andros show the car trying to board and the hatch being raised, causing it to balance between the air and the ground.

In a last ditch effort the crew and passengers are seen trying to push the vehicle inside the ship.

@nikos_nk State subsidized ship SAONISOS ( a ship with countless complaints and unfit for the line ). The ship hastily moors to a single mooring and, with the wind clearly taking the ship, the crew screams at the cars to get in quickly. While the second car is getting in and without any notice they untie the cable and the car is in the air with the hatch pinned under it and the two female passengers are shocked. Plus a porter and a crew that takes no responsibility. #viral #недропи #хефтила #andros #saonisos ♬ original sound – Nikos NK

The announcement of the Panhellenic Union of Private and Professional Yacht Crews

“The President of the Panhellenic Union of Private and Professional Yacht Crews, Cpt. Giorgos Vallis sends a letter of complaint to investigate the incident that took place on the day of Panagia in the Port of Andros.

The ship could not dock at the port due to bad weather conditions. But the Coast Guard and the Captain preferred to board the passengers unchecked, resulting in find cars and drivers hovering on the catapult with the risk of all being overboard. The boat leaves the port under adverse conditions and with the catapult lowered and there are people and cars on it. Unfortunately, we almost relive events, like the accident in Piraeus with the ship BLUE ORIZON and the drowned child. Protocols and security measures should be observed by the authorities as well as by the respective Captains and Shipping Companies. It’s not possible for everything to work just based on the LUCK factor.

Please act immediately. Many thanks in advance».
