Strong winds that have been blowing since early Sunday morning caused problems for vessels involved in the construction of a fish shelter in the Pentakomo area, Limassol. Two vessels were swept away by the swells, with one ending up at the breakwater of the Naval Base in Mari and the other running aground on a shoal in the sea area. Relevant authorities and crews rushed to the scene to remove the vessels and restore the situation. In addition, it was reported that another vessel was swept ashore in the area of the Governor's Beach due to the strong winds. The incident highlights the risks involved in maritime activity in adverse weather conditions and the need for increased attention and safety measures.
