Turkish container ship runs aground off coast of Myconos
A Turkish-flagged ship that ran aground on Saturday into rocks off the coast of Myconos is said to contain 200 tons of fuel, and environmental officials with the Greek Coast Guard have been deployed to inspect the ship.
The crew abandoned the Yusuf Cepnioglu, which was sailing from Izmir to Tunisia, when it began taking on water after the crash. All 14 sailors are reportedly safe and uninjured.
The container ship is still pinned to the rocks, coast guard authorities said on Monday, but so far no leakage has been observed.
