Trica hit by drifting ferry

In the night of Jan 11, 2017, at 8 p.m. the "Finnmerchant" broke off its moorings in the port of Hanko off because of a storm. She bumped against the "Trica" at the dock beside which had arrived from Lübeck at 5.50 a.m. The "Finnmerchant" which had arrived from Rostock on 11 a.m. was docked at berth no. 3, when the ropes snapped. With the wind she drifted against the "Trica" which was moored at the ro-ro berth 2. The two ships bumped against each other. Tugs towed her back to the berth. The damage was small, and there were minor delays because of the accident. The "Trica" left port on schedule short past midnight, the "Finnmerchant" left port on Jan 12 at 8.45 p.m. The storm was blowing with gusts of nearly 30 m/s.
