A German-managed containership has been freed from arrest in Greece following a collision that left a naval minesweeper in two pieces.
Manager John T Essberger said the 4,405-teu Maersk Launceston (built 2005) has resumed its voyage from Piraeus following the accident involving Greece's Kallisto on 27 October.
"Prior to meeting the directives of the authorities in order to lift the arrest, Maersk Launceston successfully passed a last port state control inspection," Essberger added.
