Tinos: Safety Instructions Issued by Port Authority Due to Gale-Force Winds

The Port Authority of Tinos issued an emergency announcement warning of dangerous weather conditions affecting the wider maritime and coastal area of the island. The warning is based on a gale-force wind advisory from the Hellenic National Meteorological Service (EMY), affecting the Central Aegean and other marine zones.

Port authorities are urging vessel owners and operators to immediately secure and inspect their boats, and to remain in constant readiness to assist if needed. Additionally, they are advised to avoid any sea activities and, for those who have already sailed, to secure a timely arrival at a safe port or bay.

Citizens are advised to avoid unnecessary movements in port and coastal areas due to an increased risk of accidents. It is also noted that, under general port regulations, sea recreational activities are prohibited during adverse weather conditions. In case of emergency, citizens and mariners can contact the Tinos Port Authority by phone or via VHF Channel 12.
