Creator's Key Takeaways
The incident began when the World Voyager broke loose after one of its mooring lines snapped under the pressure of the wind.
Both vessels sustained minor damage, but crucially, no structural or safety critical damage was found.
Remarkably, both ships departed later that same day on the evening of January 6th, exactly on schedule.
Despite the violent conditions that led to the collision, both ships are now safely continuing their planned Antarctic expeditions.
