Nereo Castelli Posted February 1, 2016 Report Share Posted February 1, 2016 Contatto con la BBC BAHRAIN in rada a Livorno: Allision off Livorno The "Eurocargo Istanbul" allided with the anchored cargo vessel "BBC Bahrain" in the early morning of Jan 31, 2016, on the outer anchorage of Livorno. The ferry was en route to Livorno from Cagliari. After it had suffered engine trouble on Jan 30 at 11.30 p.m. about 11 miles off the port, it asked for tug assistance, and four tugs intervened. Due to bad weather with strong wind, the towline broke at 4.10 a.m., and the drifting ferry hit the cargo ship at 4.37 a.m. Little damage was reported, and the ferry was anchored on the outer roads because docking still was risky due to the bad weather. A patrol boat of the Coastguard was monitoring. http://iltirreno.gelocal.it/livorno/cronaca/2016/01/31/news/lieve-collisione-tra-2-navi-in-rada-livorno-1.12872167?refresh_ce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
