Ferry collides with cruise ship in Barcelona port
13/01/2018
A FERRY and a cruise-liner crashed into each other in Barcelona port yesterday (Friday) afternoon, but nobody was hurt and no major damage reported.
The ship Fantastic, part of the company Grandi Navi Veloci (GNV) and travelling north from Tangiers – the closest Moroccan city to mainland Spain – bumped against the Viking Star cruise ship which was stationed in Terminal B at the port at around 14.00.
Port authority sources say the collision is 'very atypical', especially given the excellent visibility and the fact it was during daylight hours.
They say they are unsure whether it was caused by a mechanical fault or human error.
Both ships were said to have been declared safe to continue onward travel after the accident.
