On the evening of November 1, the 212 meter long, 6,400 dwt ro-ro passenger ferry Spirit of Tasmania V (IMO: 9936599) ran aground while under construction in Rauma, Finland.  The Spirit of Tasmania V had been secured with additional lines as severe weather approached.  However, the strong winds pushed the ferry away from the pier and broke its mooring lines. The vessel drifted until it ran up against the opposite embankment.

Reports state two barges and a tugboat were between the Spirit of Tasmania V and the embankment which prevented serious damage.  The ferry will undergo inspection for any damage caused by the incident. No reports of injuries or pollution released.

The Spirit of Tasmania V is expected to be completed at the Rauma shipyards by the middle of 2025.
