Red Funnel involved in incident

hi folks just thought id post for the third time in the space of a month a Red Funnel ferry has been involved in an incident in Cowes harbour on the Isle of Wight, the previous 2 incidents have involved contact between a car ferry and moored yachts, however this mornings incident has been more serious but thankfully nobody has been injured, although a full investigation has yet to take place what is apparent is that for some reason the ferry left the main shipping channel and collided with at least 1 moored yacht which has sunk and the ferry ran aground on shallow mud between the shrape breakwater and the columbine works hanger where the giant union jack doors are. some 3 hours later a tug from Itchen marine in Southampton managed to pull the ferry free and it was able to berth and unload.

I feel for them, imagine the nausea with the MCA and LR on your doorstep. Audits coming by the bucketful.
