A tanker controlled by Evangelos Marinakis' Capital Ship Management has rescued 152 migrants from a sinking boat off Greece.
The rescue operation was coordinated by the Hellenic Coast Guard on 24 September off the south-western coast after the 116,000-dwt aframax Aristofanis (built 2020) raised the alarm.
The 15-metre wooden boat was taking on water 130 km off the islet of Schiza in the Peloponnese.
The tanker picked up the migrants, but a crew member told Greek authorities he saw a woman fall into the sea during the operation.
This prompted the scrambling of a coast guard patrol boat, an air force helicopter and a navy helicopter for a search mission, AP reported. No sign of the missing person has so far been found.
The migrants were accommodated on deck, while being provided with supplies of water, food, milk and blankets, the Ta Nea daily reported.
No passengers appeared to need special medical care.
The coastguard said there was no immediate information on their nationalities or on their point of origin or destination.
The Aristofanis then headed to Crete, where the migrants were disembarked on 25 September at the port of Paleochora.
The ship was heading from Italy to Sidi Kerir in Egypt, and proceeded to its destination later that day.
The eco aframax was one of two sisterships delivered to Capital from Daehan Shipbuilding in South Korea in January 2020.
Greece is one of the most popular points of entry into the European Union for people fleeing conflict and poverty in Africa and the Middle East.
