What Crew Members Say About Juraj-Dalmatinac

A maritime incident unfolded in Gaženica on the evening of April 22, 2017, involving two Jadrolinija ferries, the "Sis" and the "Juraj Dalmatinac". At approximately 7:30 PM, as the "Sis" departed from Gaženica, it encountered an engine failure. This malfunction caused the vessel to drift forward uncontrollably, ultimately colliding with the "Juraj Dalmatinac," which was securely docked at the quay. The impact resulted in a 60-centimeter breach on the starboard side of the "Juraj Dalmatinac" at a height of 10 meters above the water line, although the "Sis" sustained no significant structural damage. The ferry required an extended stay at the port for a thorough investigation. Passengers aboard the "Sis" were safely transferred to the ferry "Vladimir Nazor". In the subsequent days, the "Juraj Dalmatinac" underwent necessary repairs at a shipyard located in Kraljevica, and successfully resumed service on April 26 at 11:40 AM, setting sail back to Gaženica.
