Swedish Ferry 'Silja Galaxy' Executes Emergency Maneuver to Avoid Collision
On August 10, 2019, at approximately 2 p.m., the Swedish ferry 'Silja Galaxy' was compelled to execute a sharp turn and decelerate rapidly to evade a potential collision with the container ship 'BBC Alberta'. The incident occurred in the Åland Sea while the ferry was making its way from Mariehamn to Stockholm. Approaching from the left, the northbound 'BBC Alberta', which was en route from Tianjin, failed to adhere to the necessary navigational protocols. Despite initially indicating a willingness to yield, the 'BBC Alberta' deviated in the wrong direction, prompting the crew of the 'Silja Galaxy' to take immediate evasive action to avoid an accident. This abrupt maneuver caused the ferry to list significantly, leading to a chaotic scene in the onboard restaurant where food and kitchenware toppled to the floor. Passengers were forced to grasp onto nearby objects to maintain their balance, resulting in a few individuals losing their footing. Although no severe injuries were reported, the incident sparked panic among many passengers, with some rushing towards the exits and children expressing distress. One woman did seek medical attention for discomfort due to the sudden movement. In response, the ferry's captain addressed the passengers via the public address system to clarify the situation and later went to offer personal reassurance to the understandably shaken guests. After the initial turmoil subsided, passengers slowly returned to the restaurant, albeit to a scene of disarray as most of the food had ended up scattered on the floor. The authorities from both Finland and Sweden have been informed about the event. The 'Silja Galaxy' successfully arrived in Stockholm at 6 p.m., while the 'BBC Alberta' continued its journey, docking in Härnösand at 5:20 a.m. on August 11, where it has remained inactive since.
