An Incident in the Heart of the Storm
This ship, recognized as one of the largest cruise ships in the German fleet, detached from its anchorage due to adverse weather conditions and strong winds, moving towards the port wall. This incident occurred while passengers and crew were already on alert due to a storm that was forming. However, it seems that the wind's power exceeded expectations, leading to this unfortunate accident.
Consequences of the Incident
The collision of the ship with the port wall, despite the damage caused to the ship's hull and the port wall, fortunately did not result in any injuries or harm to the passengers.
