Ferry ended on breakwater
A failed maneuver caused the 'Isola di Capreia' to end up on the breakwater off the port of San Nicola on the Tremiti Islands on May 24 at 11 a.m. The grounding occurred during the docking maneuver due to a technical problem. When the captain realized that the ship was not responding to the commands, he dropped the anchors with the result that the impect was less violent, causing slight damage to the bow. The ferry was refloated with own means, and left San Nicola in the afternoon back to Termoli. It berthed at the Termoli port at 6.15 p.m. Italian report with photo and video: https://www.primonumero.it/2020/05/manovra-imprevista-durante-lattracco-motonave-tirrenia-si-arena-sugli-scogli/1530613469/
