Travelers still stranded on Samothraki

Problems with the ferry connection between the northern port city of Alexandroupolis and Samothraki continued Wednesday, with the northeastern Aegean island's port still jam-packed with stranded travelers.
Even though the Zefyros did arrive at Samothraki Wednesday - the first ferryboat in nine days - passenger capacity was limited and it could take only around 140 of the estimated 1,000 people stranded on the island.
The ANAX ferry which arrived later in the day could only transport vehicles and a very limited number of passengers.
The high-speed Andros Jet catamaran chartered by local authorities was expected to arrive last night.
As of Thursday, the Andros Jet will make three journeys a day to Samothraki from the port to Alexandroupolis. It has a passenger capacity of 600 and can carry 75 vehicles.
