  • The big ship's O.K. It was the little ship's fault for not getting out of the way in time.

  • It's kinda annoying when people post a news item with no information, no context, nothing... Anyway, google gives..

    CCTV footage shows the huge bulk carrier, Grand Rodosi spearing headlong into the side of the tuna boat, Apollo S whilst moored at the wharf in Port Lincoln, South Australia.

    • @ukexpat It's kind of annoying when people post a news story and don't bother to read what they've posted nor post an update to the story...hence,"Grand Rodosi is currently lying 29°47.33' N 122°06. More..58' E
      (Zhoushan Shipyard near Shanghai) where it doesnt seem to have moved for a long time."

      That tuna boat was torn up for scrap in November of 2010.

  • Not much left of the ship that got hit.
    Just a flattened mangled mess.

  • The accident happened in Oct 2010.

    Found this excellent audio, an interview with an investigator:

    http://mpegmedia.abc.net.au/local/eyre/201010/r652761_4603946.mp3

    Which is posted alongside this article:

    http://www.abc.net.au/local/stories/2010/10/08/3033531.htm

    This was an expensive accident. The crushed boat was worth AU$17 million and the wharf was also damaged, though they don't say how badly. Although it's not obvious, the big container ship was damaged as well.

    The 'small' ship isn More..

    • @NotJim

      We were across the other side of the warf when this happened! Fuck! What a crash it was. The tuna boat sank after the crash..

      The video doesn't do the depiction of damage much in the way of justice. It was a bloody mess.
