Divers have repaired a NEL Lines ro-pax that took on water at Perama in Greece.

Coast guard officials told the Kathimerini daily that the 15,100-gt European Express (built 1974) sprang a leak on Wednesday.

Equasis lists the vessel as laid-up and the report said it had been anchored at the port since 2016.

Damage to the engine room was blamed for the water ingress.
