When Nikos Repos received a phone call from the Port Authority of Volos, for a fishing boat who was sinking at the port, he knew there were only two solutions. Lifting and destroying it, or abandoning in shallow water. Since there was no possibility for the owner to do something else, as its rescue required costly repairs and special technical knowledge from professional shipbuilders. After studying the two options, one more was added. The Rescue! This decision was embraced by both the men and women of the Volos Coast Guard and the Volos Port Authority. Besides, they were the ones who in their anxiety to save the boat from 'certain drowning' contacted the most competent of the area.
