Greece-Cyprus power cable survey ship departs amid Turkish NAVTEX dispute

The cable-laying vessel Abeille Marengo is set to depart Monday for the Greece-Cyprus electricity interconnection, with Athens issuing NAVTEX covering the entire route to the Cypriot EEZ. This follows a minor standoff with Turkish authorities over competing NAVTEX messages, and comes after a previous incident near Kasos. The move signals Greek resolve to proceed with the project despite Turkish objections, potentially escalating tensions in the Eastern Mediterranean.
