An Indonesian sailor was killed
and another crew member was seriously injured in an accident Monday at
the island of Mykonos. The man was killed after a mooring line
snapped, as the Greek-flagged ship was preparing berth at the island --
it was extremely windy, which undoubtedly contributed to causing the
tragedy. A
second Indonesian sailor was hospitalized in serious condition. |

The English-language Greek newspaper Ekathimerini reports
that the government has yet to decide how it will remonve more than 400
tons of fuel still in the shipwreck 120 metres below the sea.
Some of the fuel has already started to leak, prompting a cleanup of
Snatorini's beaches. Experts fear that half the fuel oil may have
already seeped from the ship; the remaining fuel could still create a
serious problem for the marine environment.

The ship hit a reef in a lagoon a half mile from shore
near the main port of Santorini. It was reported to be taking on
water and listed 12 degrees but was stabilized when watertight doors
were stabilized. All 1153 passengers and all but 20 of 391 were
evacuated from the shi, without injury. Sister ship Perla is en route to
Santorini to collect Sea Diamond’s passengers. UPDATE APRIL 6: It is reported
that the ship sunk in the early morning hours and that two French passengers — a 45 year-old man and his
16-year-old daughterare
missing. NOTE: An
oil spoil, with a diameter of 100 meters was detected in the region of
the sunken Sea Diamond ship in the Aegean Sea, the Greek TV channel NET
reported. Greek authorities indicated the ship had as much as 100
tons of oil The Greek Government, fearing a serious blow to
Santorini's tourist economy from oil pollution (the ship contained more
than 400 tons of fuel), has announced it
will
sue the ship's owner and ensure it takes full responsibility for clean
up operations. FROM A PASSENGER:
Please update your information
on the sinking of the Sea Diamond. I was on the ship. The ship listed
at least 30 degrees, it was never stablized, despite the closing of the
watertight doors, and what's worse, the lifeboats did not work and
there were no life jackets at the muster stations. There was also never
an emergency signal given, nor a call to abandon ship. The ship was also then towed to
deeper waters and allowed to sink with all of our belongings on board.
