The federation announced the strike to protest the death of Antonis Karyotis, 36, who was shoved off the ramp of the ‘Blue Horizon’ ferry by a crew member. PNO is calling for the safety of maritime transport and the protection of human life. The federation said that it would offer its support to Karyotis’ family and highlighted that the behavior of the seamen of the Blue Horizon does not represent the vast majority of Greek seamen. Travelers that have booked ferry tickets for Wednesday are advised to check with their travel agents or contact local port authorities for further information.
