dontpanik Posted July 2, 2007 #1 Share Posted July 2, 2007 Does anyone know of the current whereabouts of former Captain Yiannis Avranas of the doomed Oceanos? The one who abandoned ship along with his officers and crew and left the entertainers aboard to organize the rescue in August of 1991 off the African coast?

CGTNORMANDIE Posted July 12, 2007 #2 Share Posted July 12, 2007 TRY ASKING HOST DOUG...he usually knows those things. I heard (former) Captain Avranas was stripped of his papers and sent to jail...but maybe his sentence was suspended??? There is some film on YOUTUBE showing the sinking of the Oceanos.

Glauco Posted November 6, 2007 #3 Share Posted November 6, 2007 Hi dontpanik. I just watched national geografic program about the Oceanos tragedy. The unethical, unprofessional prick are working as a Captain of a ferry in Greece. The Greek government is not doing anything about the incident. I would avoid any cruise that involves a Greek ship!

dontpanik Posted November 7, 2007 Author #4 Share Posted November 7, 2007 That is unbelievable!! I will certainly avoid any Greek ferries...of course truth be known, I avoid all foreign ferries since I don't trust what they think an acceptable number of passengers is.

BillB48 Posted November 9, 2007 #5 Share Posted November 9, 2007 IIRC his response to being in a life boat was, "he was oraganizing the rescue effort!":rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alphakitty Posted November 9, 2007 #6 Share Posted November 9, 2007 I don't know what ever happened to him. I sure hope he's no longer a ship's captain anywhere! Here's a link if you want to see a video of the story. http://www.aolvideoblog.com/2007/08/21/crew-bails-on-passengers-of-sinking-cruise-liner/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
