The 'Moby Zaza", serving on the route Porto Vecchio-Golfo Aranci, which had left the Corsican port on Dec 18, 2024, at 6 p.m., only docked after midnight in Olbia instead of Golfo Aranci, due to the breakdown of a generator. At 10:15 p.m., the engines suddenly stopped at the entrance to Isola Bianca. A blackout occurred, blocking many of the passengers who were inside the elevators. After restoring electricity, the captain reassured that the passengers would be disembarking within 20 minutes, Tugs assisted the ferry in front of the entrance to Isola Bianca and towied to the port of Olbia, instead of Golfo Aranci, where the disembarkation was scheduled, and where some commuters had parked their cars.The ship berthed with a delay of two, and passengers were able to disembark only at around midnight.
