The head of the Greek rescue team, Giorgos Glyofrydis, told Greek TV Skai that there were already yesterday morning searches at sea for possible shipwrecks of the burning Euroferry Olympia ferry, but so far none have been found.
According to the broadcaster,

The fire extinguishing operations on the Eurofarry Olympia ferry destroyed by a fire while sailing from Igoumenitsa to Brindisi are still in progress.
