MS Express Samina, Shipwreck near Paros, Greece
The MS Express Samina measures 115 meters in length and accommodates 1,442 passengers for transportation between Greek islands in the Aegean Sea.
Built in 1966 at Chantiers de l'Atlantique in France, the vessel operated under different names before joining the Minoan Flying Dolphins fleet in 1999.
The maritime disaster of September 2000 led to the establishment of memorials across Greece to remember the 81 individuals who lost their lives.
The wreck rests at 38 meters depth near Paros, with visibility extending to 20 meters, making it accessible for experienced divers.
Following the 2000 incident, Greek maritime authorities implemented new regulations requiring voyage recorders and enhanced safety protocols for passenger vessels.
