Allision in Naples
In the afternoon of March 20, 2018, the "Isola di Capri" coming from Capri and heading to the Beverello jetty, more sheltered than the port of Calata di Massa during a storm, was caught by a wind gust upon arrival in Naples during the docking maneuvers. The ferry hit the quay with the side and was pushed against the hydrofoil "Aldebaran" of Caremar that was moored a short distance away. Passengers coming from Capri had to wait a long time for the ship to moor safely. After an inspection the ship was allowed to resume its schedule. Also the "Aldebaran" sailed at 6 p.m. Italian report with photo: http://www.caprinews.it/leggi1.asp?cod=9499
Allision in Naples
The "Isola di Capri" allided with the berthed ferry "Driade" in the Massa Port in Naples on Nov 29, 2017, short after having dropped the moorings being about to sail to Ischia. Pushed by winds of five Baufort, she slammed into its port side with its starboard foreship. Both ferries sustained slight damages and were detained until the weather improved later that day. Due to the adverse weather conditions, there had already been a stop for hydrofoils, leaving the Gulf Islands isolated. 100 Korean tourists were stuck in the port of Naples but managed to sail aboard a Caremar ferry despite the weather conditions. The Civil Protection of the Campania Region had issued a weather warning alert for widespread rainfall with moderate and moderate thunderstorms throughout the territory.
