Greece has ordered the removal of a cruiseship that sank off the Aegean island of Santorini more than ten years ago.
Merchant shipping minister Panagiotis Kouroublis published on Friday a letter telling coastguards and local authorities to set in motion the removal of the 22,000-gt Sea Diamond (built 1986).
The vessel went down in April 2007 after hitting rocks just off Santorini, one of the world’s top tourism destinations.
