Cruise Ship Damaged as It Hits Containership Departing Bremerhaven
Key Points:
- The cruise ship Mein Schiff 3 collided with two container ships, MSC Anne F and MSC Victorine, while maneuvering in Bremerhaven, causing minor damage to MSC Anne F and significant damage to MSC Victorine.
- MSC Victorine sustained a 10-meter-long gash above the waterline and deformation of container guides, while Mein Schiff 3 lost at least four lifeboats/tenders and suffered hull damage.
- No injuries or water ingress were reported from the incident involving the vessels.
- Mein Schiff 3 returned to dock, and passengers were asked to stay onboard overnight; TUI Cruises confirmed urgent repairs are needed, leading to the cancellation of the current cruise and uncertainty about future trips.
