MSC Cruise Ships Collide!!!
Key Moments
Editorial Summary
Jamie from the Sheridan Sea and News Department reports on a collision involving two MSC Cruise Lines vessels at the Port of Venice on February 21st. The incident occurred when the MSC Orchestra lost control during maneuvers and drifted into the docked MSC Poesia. Despite the presence of a port pilot and tugboats, the Orchestra was unable to avoid the sister ship. Video footage captured by a Facebook page shows passengers on the balconies of the MSC Poesia watching in horror as the larger vessel approached and eventually struck them. The collision caused damage to a ramp on the MSC Poesia and some lifeboats on the MSC Orchestra. Additionally, the Orchestra reportedly struck a part of the dock while spinning. Fortunately, no injuries were reported during the event. Both ships were able to continue their scheduled journeys to South America with only slight delays. The reporter concludes by noting that while the damage was minimal, the sight of one cruise ship hitting another is a rare and shocking occurrence for passengers to witness.
