By decision of the Anti-Money Laundering Authority, the Port Authorities detain a tanker of Russian interests in Karystos.
According to protothema.gr, the Authority issued the decision based on the sanctions imposed by the EU and NATO on ships of Russian interests. The blockade concerns the 250-metre-long Russian-flagged ship Pegas and not the cargo.
Due to a mechanical failure, the tanker was accompanied by a tugboat bound for the Peloponnese, where the oil was to be transhipped to another tanker. However, adverse weather conditions prevailed at Cape Doro, and it found a safe anchorage in the sea area of Karystos.

The managing company according to the procedure is expected to try through documents to prove that it does not belong to the sanctioned list.
There is no other ship of Russian interests in the maritime area.
