Allision in Ceuta

On Dec 4, 2016, at 7.30 a.m. the "FT Foce" struck the stern of the moored LPG tanker "Happy Eagle" which was berthed at the Alfau Wharf in Ceuta while maneuvering as she was leaving the port. The "FT Foce" got out of control after an engine failure. The ships remained hooked together until initial investigations showed that there was no serious damage. The "FT Foce" suffered bow damages, whereas the starboard hull of the "Happy Eagle" suffered dents and damaged railings. Work then began to separate the vessels, while members of the classification societies of both ships started investigating the exact amount of damage. For this purpose both ships remained moored in the dock of Alfau. Spanish report with photos: http://elpueblodeceuta.es/not/13475/dos-buques-mercantes-sufren-un-accidente-en-el-interior-del-puerto/
