New catamaran ferry damaged in allision
The "Benchi Express" which will be connecting San Sebastián, Playa Santiago and Valle Gran Rey on La Gomera, allided with a quay at San Sebastián de La Gomera in the night of Sep 6, 2017. The ship was manoevering in the dock when the wind pushed it against the quay. The hull was breached at starboard side above the waterline. The ferry has to undergo repairs, which were expected to take four to five days. Fred. Olsen hoped that the smallest of its ferries would be operational next week.
