Rosslare Harbour Allision

Rosslare Harbour Allision

The 140 meter long, 3189 dwt ro-ro ferry Stena Europe struck the 166 meter long, 4606 dwt ferry Oscar Wilde at Rosslare Harbour, Ireland.  The Stena Europe had departed from Fishguard to Rosslare and was maneuvering to berth at Rosslare when strong winds caused the ferry to allide with the berthed Oscar Wilde.  No reports of injuries to the 454 passengers or 71 crew on board at the time. Both vessels sustained minimal damage.  The Stena Europe cancelled its scheduled sailing while the vessel is inspected for damage.
