Giraglia
The 76 meter long ro-ro passenger ferry Giraglia went aground off Santa Teresa Gallura, Sardinia. The Giraglia departed from Santa Teresa Gallura with 69 passengers and 15 crew bound for Bonifacio when the vessel suffered a power blackout. The main engine had failed and drifted onto the rocks just off the shoreline. The vessel requested assistance and authorities assisted in evacuating all 69 passengers off the ferry. A tug was requested to help in refloating efforts. No reports of injuries, damage or pollution released. Italian Coast Guard has started an investigation into the incident.
