Impact verdict

Low impact. Loss pathway: A single domestic Greek-flagged ferry grounding following a machinery/power blackout, with no confirmed total loss, no reported injuries, no cargo value disclosed, no pollution confirmed, and no port closure. Evidence: GDELT GKG themes and amounts indicate ~246 passengers and ~108 crew aboard per metadata extraction, but no hull damage estimate, insured value, or commercial disruption scale is available. The source is metadata-only (article fetch disabled by WP-C1 GKG hardening), limiting reliability. A single ferry grounding without confirmed total loss or significant cargo exposure sits below the London Market commercial threshold. The metadata's reference to arrests and investigation themes is a governance/regulatory signal rather than an insured-loss driver.
