Due to the extreme winds, the RORO ferry ROMANTIKA broke off her mooring, Netherlands 01 February

Stormy wind creates chaos in Eemshaven, Netherlands, February 1, 2023. Due to the extreme winds, the RORO ferry ROMANTIKA broke off her mooring, with bunker barge ALLIANTIE moored alongside. The bunker barge was dragged along with the ferry when it started drifting away from the quayside in the Beatrixhaven. Offshore supply ship SARTOR, which was moored at the south quay, was hit by the combination, with the barge squeezed in between the larger vessels. As a result, the mooring lines of the SARTOR broke as well, and the vessel was pushed into the multi-purpose vessel WINDEA JULES VERNE.
Not long after the accidents, tugboats arrived to assist. Unfortunately, the RORO ramp was significantly damaged, and also the other vessels did not escape the incident unscathed.
