"ΕΛΛΗΝΙΚΟΣ ΝΗΟΓΝΩΜΟΝΑΣ" (Hellinikos Niognomonas) lost their licence/registration a few years ago (because of the 'Sea Diamond' incident, I think) and are still struggling to get it back. A friend of mine who is a Mechanical-Naval Engineer works there and is 6 months back in wages. I don't know who is blocking it (the licence/registration). However, the fees won't be 50 euros even if everything goes back to normal, so the tip (don't call the port police unless necessary) will still apply.

This is looking more & more like organised crime. Are the RYA or CA aware of what's going on ?

All governments are Kleptocrats - and what can the CA or RYA do about a sovereign state's laws?

Just don't tell them you're in trouble.
