The local authorities in Zakynthos recently discovered an abandoned freighter filled with cigarettes on the remote western shores of the island, near Porto Vromi. The Palau Islands-flagged Amaranthus appears to have been abandoned by its crew and was located by a Coast Guard patrol.

Upon closer inspection, the Coast Guard officers found that more than half of the vessel’s storage area contained hundreds of cartons of cigarettes.
