whoops -nearly

Postby victor » 13 Dec 2012, 10:10

yesterday morning there was nearly a collision in the harbour ,as a cruise ship called DIVINA (139,000 tons) was reversing into position alongside the quay and the local island ferry was leaving harbour.

the ferry had to take evasive action as apparently according to local paper the cruise ship should have given way to the ferry
