Hellenic Seaways confirmed in a statement that the body belongs to the chief electrician of the vessel.

The fire broke out on the 4,900-gt catamaran passenger ship Highspeed 5 (built 2005) as it was moored for repairs at Drapetsona near Piraeus.

The 85-metre-long ship, with a capacity to carry 809 passengers and 154 vehicles, belongs to the fleet of local ferry operator Hellenic Seaways.
