Hamnavoe
On the morning of October 22, the 112 meter long, 1200 dwt ro-ro pasenger ferry Hamnavoe (IMO: 9246061) suffered damage while crossing the Pentland Firth off Scotland. The Hamnavoe was en route to Scrabster from Stromness when it suffered a cargo shift. Two vans and 3 cars on the vehicle deck sustained damage, but there were no injuries on board. The ferry was able to proceed with a starboard list and reached Scrabster under its own power. There the passengers and undamaged vehicles were unloaded. No reports if the Hamnavoe had sustained any damage caused by the cargo shift.
Reports state the crew carried out a full review after the incident. The UK Marine Accident Investigation Board stated they were making enquiries to determine if an investigation was warranted. There were no reports of pollution released. The Hamnavoe returned to service later the same day.
