All 10 crew members - 8 Ukrainians and 2 Russians - were  reportedly safe and uninjured, and a Coast Guard vessel dispatched the  scene was on stand-by to provide assistance if needed.

The Harbor Authority told AMNA that the ship's owner  company had hired a private diver to inspect the damage to the  ship before a plan for its dislodgement was started.

No marine pollution was reported. The cargo ship was sailing without cargo from Halkida to Romania.
