Maritime labor violation in Tilos
Overview
The Dodekanisos Express ferry was prevented from departing the port of Tilos after a Coast Guard inspection found the crew had exceeded permitted working hours. The inspection, prompted by a seafarers' union complaint, determined that labor limit violations applied to the entire crew.
The incident caused passenger disruptions, with the Coast Guard rescheduling the departure for the following morning. Dodekanisos Seaways criticized the intervention, describing it as an ‘unexplained and vindictive intervention’.
