Port authorities in Greece raised a security alert after a bomb threat was reported aboard the passenger and vehicle ferry Blue Star 2. The vessel was operating a scheduled route when the threat was called in, prompting an immediate response from maritime security services. Authorities conducted a search of the ship as a precautionary measure. Bomb threats on Greek ferries are relatively rare but are always taken seriously and follow standard security protocols. Travelers using ferry routes to or from Crete, including connections through Piraeus and Heraklion, should expect possible delays or additional security checks during boarding if incidents of this nature occur. Passengers are advised to arrive early, follow crew instructions, and check with their ferry operator for any schedule changes before departure.
