New coast guard patrol vessel delivered during ceremony at Mt. Athos harbor

In a statement during the ceremony, relevant Shipping and Island Policy Minister Yannis Plakiotakis referred to the deep-rooted respect by the Greek government for the beacon of Orthodoxy, Mount Athos, a sentiment he said is accompanied by actions that boost the security and protection of the semi-autonomous monastic community, and the pilgrims that annually visit the peninsula.
