The Malta Maritime Authority (MMA) is currently investigating two separate minor accidents involving Malta-flagged passenger ships in Greece yesterday.

As it attempted to berth in the Greek port of Piraeus, the Malta-flagged Zenith sustained “very minor damage” to the hull as it made contact with the Greek-flagged Aegean Pearl, which had its lifeboat damaged.

The Zenith’s 1,819 passengers and 619 crew, and the Aegean Pearl’s 504 passengers and 349 crew members remained on board while the damage was assessed, according to gulfnews.com.

Meanwhile, in a press release, the MMA said that along with the accident involving the Zenith, it is also investigating an accident involving the Easycruiseone, which is reported to have sustained minor damages to a hull plating while berthed in the port of Aegina.

Nobody was injured in either one of the accidents and no threat was posed to the marine environment, the MMA concluded.
