Greek Ferries to be Made Accessible to Disabled Travelers by May 2019


Shipping companies must make their vessels accessible and safe for people with disabilities by May 1, 2019, according to a memorandum signed on Wednesday by Greece’s Shipping and Island Policy Minister, Fotis Kouvelis.
The memorandum was signed after Kouvelis met with the national association of Greek shipping operators.
The decision obliges shipping companies to install proper elevators and lifting devices, designate specific spaces for parking of cars disabled people are travelling with or being dropped off, areas where their wheelchairs can be secured, and specially trained personnel to assist them once on board.
