The Km-Cattleya-Express: Crew Feedback and Vessel Data

In a dramatic incident at Pelabuhan Nusantara in Parepare City, South Sulawesi, the vessel 'Prince Soya' collided with the docked KM 'Cattleya Express'. The 'Prince Soya', arriving from Cappa Ujung Port, was maneuvering to secure a docking at Nusantara Port when it unexpectedly crashed into the stationary vessel. The collision resulted in the snapping of three mooring ropes of the 'Cattleya Express', echoing through the port. Both maritime entities sustained damage: the 'Prince Soya' experienced a compromised bow, while the 'Cattleya Express' suffered impact on its starboard side stern. Fortunately, there were no reported injuries stemming from this mishap. Preliminary investigations indicate that a steering malfunction on the 'Prince Soya' was the primary cause of the loss of control as it approached the dock.
