Ferry sank off Sifnos
On Sep 2, 2026, the 'Irini K' sank within short time, after suddenly taking on water in the engine room, about one nautical mile east of the island of Sifnos, while being towed from Kalymnos to Perama by the tug 'Exantas' (IMO: 8129216). The two people aboard were rescued by the tug crew. Both transported to the port of Kamares, Sifnos, while one of them was transported as a precaution for medical examinations to the Sifnos Health Center. The landing craft was not carrying fuel or lubricants. Northerly winds of 4 to 5 on the Beaufort scale were blowing at the time of the sinking. The local emergency plan was immediately activated by the Sifnos Port Authority, and two Coast Guard Patrol boats (PLS) set sail for the area, the high-speed boat 'Artina-T.P. 850 B' with a Sifnos Port Authority officer on board, and the fishing boat 'Faneromeni'. At the same time the Sifnos Public Port Fund was informed, so that equipment could be put on standby to deal with any pollution incident in the area. The patrol boats remained in the area to monitor the wider sea area, while so far no marine pollution has been detected. A preliminary investigation was carried out by the Sifnos Port Authority.
