A giant containership has been dragged back to port in Piraeus after losing power in Greek waters this weekend.

The 13,870-teu Millau Bridge (built 2015) requested assistance from the Hellenic Coast Guard (HCG) after suffering a main engine problem northwest of Milos.

Greek tug company Spanopoulos Group deployed three units to bring the vessel to the port of Piraeus, a company official says.
