MV Gemini Collides with Pier at Port Piraeus: An Overview of the Incident in Athens, Greece

On September 5, 2025, the MV Gemini was involved in an incident while attempting to dock at the port of Piraeus in Athens, Greece. During its controlled approach to the berth, the vessel accidentally collided with the pier, resulting in significant damage above the waterline.

Following the accident, port authorities and the crew of the ship are conducting a comprehensive inspection to evaluate the extent of the damage. Their findings will dictate the necessary repairs before the MV Gemini can resume its scheduled operations.

This incident adds to a series of recent mechanical challenges faced by the 1992-built vessel. Earlier in March 2025, the Gemini encountered an engine-room fire shortly after leaving Piraeus. At that time, visible smoke was reported from the upper decks, prompting a safety muster on board. The crew managed to extinguish the fire, but the ship had to be returned to port due to limited propulsion capabilities.
