Minoan Lines supports firefighting operations in Milos

Following the outbreak of a fire on the Greek island of Milos on 19 June, the Grimaldi Group company Minoan Lines took charge of the free sea transport of six firefighting trucks and a team of 20 firefighters, who departed from Piraeus on the vessel Festos Palace to assist in battling the blaze.

Besides demonstrating once again the company’s sensitivity to local communities’ needs, this operation shows in practice the importance of having added a daily call at Milos to the Piraeus-Heraklion-Piraeus route – a recent innovation in the company’s service offer which has strengthened the support to the island in critical situations such as this one.
