The 42,000-gt Italian-flagged Europalink (built 2007) was en route to Italy from Patras, Greece when the incident took place.

There were no reports of any injuries to the 762 passengers and crew aboard the vessel. The ship later made it into port.

Greek authorities are now carrying out an investigation into Sunday’s grounding to determine the cause of the accident.

The Europelink is operated by Minoan Lines, which is part of the Naples-based Grimaldi Group.
