The arrival of the sixth ship on Thursday is expected to accelerate the procedure of importing water from Greece, since further analyses at the state laboratory, which takes around 48 hours, will not be necessary, he added. ``The water has always been tested. As stipulated in the contract, during the first trips of the tankers all analyses were carried out at the state laboratory and the water was found to be unadulterated.
