Incident Caused By Strong Winds In Spanish Port Leaves Passengers Injured Aboard The Cruise Ship Britannia After Colliding With An Oil Tanker.

The cruise ship Britannia, operated by P&O Cruises, found itself in a delicate situation last Sunday (08/27) after colliding with an oil tanker in the port of Palma de Mallorca, Spain. The incident occurred while the cruise was docked; however, strong winds managed to break it free from its mooring lines, resulting in a collision with an oil transport vessel, according to the Port Authority of the Balearic Islands.

To ensure the safety of all, it was decided that the ship would return with a reduced passenger capacity.

The Britannia, which had started its journey on August 18, had a round trip itinerary scheduled, passing through destinations such as Cádiz and Ibiza before the incident occurred.

A limited number of guests and crew aboard were informed that they would leave the ship and return to Southampton (or to the departure point) by flight and transfer. Guests remaining on board would be able to enjoy the entertainment and activities scheduled for the remainder of the trip,” concluded the P&O Cruises spokesperson to the American newspaper, USA Today.
