The 162 meter long ro-ro passenger ferry Melusine allided with the moored ferry Superspeed 1 at Hirtshals, Norway. The Melusine attempted to berth with 611 passengers and 240 vehicles when strong winds pushed the ferry against the 212 meter long ferry Superspeed 1. The vessels stayed wedged together until a tug could assist and pull the vessels apart. No reports of injuries. An inspection found minimal damage and both vessels were allowed to depart after a short delay.
