What happened
On September 30, 2026, a cruise ship named Scarlet Lady was involved in an incident in Rhodes. While strong winds and swells caused the ship's lines to break, it made contact with a catamaran in the harbor. The catamaran owner subsequently filed a claim of at least €400,000 due to damage sustained to the vessel's aft section.

Why it matters
The catamaran owner requested that the ship be seized and not permitted to leave the Greek port. Although Scarlet Lady was originally scheduled to depart Rhodes on time, it was eventually allowed to leave on October 1 after an insurance company provided a letter of guarantee against the claim.
