Trade unions in Greece are protesting plans for a cruise ship with alleged links to the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) to be allocated space at a Greek yard for extensive repair and maintenance work.

The Athens-based World Federation of Trade Unions (WFTU) wants Greek authorities to revoke the approval for the allocation of space for Crown Iris, a cruise ship that is allegedly due to arrive at the Public Power Corporation (PPC) pier in Keratsini, Piraeus, for the repair work.

Operated by Israeli cruise line Mano Maritime (Mano Cruise), Crown Iris has links to the IDF since the beginning of the Gaza war and the Israel-Iran conflict this year, WFTU claimed.
