Electrical Failure Delays Ferry Departure
On the morning of March 17, 2026, the ferry ‘Andreas Kalvos‘ encountered an electrical failure just before its scheduled departure from the Port of Sami, Kefalonia, to Patras. The ship was carrying 123 passengers along with 37 vehicles, including two buses and two tank trucks. Following the incident, the Port Authority of Sami Kefalonia intervened, and the 2nd Port Department initially prohibited the vessel from sailing. However, after the crew provided a maintenance certificate from the monitoring classification society, the ferry was cleared to proceed on its journey. The company ensured that all passengers and vehicles were taken care of during the delay.
