(October 18, 2021) Venice, Italy - MSC Will Pay River Cruise Line $2.7 Million After 2019 Collision. A ruling handed down by the High Court of England will make MSC Cruises pay river cruise operator Uniworld $2.7 million after a 2019 collision in Venice. The accident garnered worldwide media attention when footage surfaced on social media of an MSC cruise ship crashing into a river cruise ship in Venice. The verdict, handed down by Justice Andrew Baker, puts MSC on the line for the initial costs related to the accident and a potential $8.7 million in additional lost revenue and related fees. On June 2, 2019, the MSC Opera lost control while preparing to dock in Venice, causing the vessel to crash into Uniworld’s River Countess while moored at the San Basilio Pier in the Giudecca Canal. Two tugboats tried to intercept the ship but it was too late. A report by the navy later put blame on the Opera’s navigation officers, saying that it could have been prevented by stopping the engines after the vessel suffered steering failure. MSC’s captain and officers were fined for the accident. No one was seriously hurt during the accident but a few of the 28 guests onboard the River Countess suffered minor injuries. The accident happened on a turn day for the ship and most guests had already disembarked. The Opera sustained scratches but no hull damage. Full Article:
