A female seafarer lost her life on a Greek-chartered ferry on the night leading into Friday, killed by a truck driver who was backing up his vehicle on the ship’s ramp without noticing her.
This is the latest in a string of safety incidents occurring on passenger ships in Greece, one of the world’s biggest ferry markets.
The 47-year-old victim was a low-ranking crew member described in a coastguard statement as an “assistant“ — a term generally used for personnel cleaning cabins, serving tables or manning bars.
