Carinthia-Vii Vessel Reviews and Specifications

On September 30, 2011, at approximately 12:25 p.m., a significant incident occurred when the wake from the luxury yacht "Carinthia VII" triggered the Berne-Farge ferry to collide with the quay. The waves, reaching heights of two meters, overwhelmed the ferry, flooding its cargo deck and violently hurling it against the bulkhead. Amidst the chaos, a truck on board faced the risk of toppling over, and a cyclist lost his balance, resulting in a fall against the wheelhouse. The cyclist sustained a leg injury and required hospital treatment following the accident. Subsequent inspections revealed that the deck structures of the ferry had slightly shifted, raising concerns about potential unseen damage beneath the waterline. Investigations to assess the extent of any underwater damage are set to take place next week at the Fassmer Shipyard. Local police have attributed the incident to the "Carinthia VII" operating at an excessive speed, although it was manned by its crew and a pilot during the voyage.
