Three arrested following vessel collision in Greece's Ionian Islands

Both vessels were then ordered to proceed to the Port of Argostoli to offload their passengers. Port officials have prohibited the vessels' departure pending the presentation of seaworthiness certificates by their respective class societies.

The injured male was brought to hospital for treatment and has since been discharged. The coast guard said this individual was later arrested since it was found that he had illegally taken over the command of the vessel.

The co-owner also faces other charges including issuing a false testimony, disruption of transportation safety, violation of collision avoidance regulations, and irregular steering of a vessel.
