Sudden mist in Piraeus port has not disrupted ship traffic, navigators report

The thick mist that suddenly descended and reduced visibility in the port of Piraeus on Tuesday evening has not disrupted traffic into and out of the port, navigators said in statements to the ANA-MPA.

They said the phenomenon was the result of a sudden downward movement of warm air masses in the area.

«It is a phenomenon that will dissipate quickly, while there are no particular problems for the movement of ships,» navigators said but warned that greater care was needed and ship captains must adhere faithfully to codes for avoiding collisions.
