On Friday, June 3, 2016, the cruise ship Celebrity Infinity missed its berth in the port of Ketchikan, Alaska. As he approached the wharf parallel to it, he tore off a gangway from wharf No. 3. The noise is impressive, but no one was injured.
The hull of the vessel was damaged and punctured below the waterline. According to the local media, this accident will be the fault of the wind, blowing at more than 70 km/h, but also of a pilot's manoeuvring error, arriving too quickly near the dock.
The damage would be estimated at approximately $3 million. The video was filmed by a bystander and received over a million views on YouTube.
The Infinity belongs to the Celebrity Cruises Millenium series. The vessel measures 294 m and weighs 90,228 tons. This $350 million vessel can accommodate 999 crew members and between 1950 and 2450.
