Collision in the port of a ship belonging to TUI Cruises. Cancelled cruise and necessary repairs

On October 25, the cruise ship "Mein Schiff 3" collided with two container ships in Bremerhaven. TUI Cruises confirmed the incident, stating that passenger and crew safety is a top priority, and no injuries were reported. The ship will undergo repairs in dry dock, leading to the cancellation of a planned 20-day Canary Islands cruise. Technical teams are assessing the damage, which includes significant harm to lifeboats and the hull. The police are investigating the circumstances of the collision, particularly the impact of strong autumn winds on maneuverability. Over 2400 passengers will receive full refunds, and travel agencies will retain their commissions despite the cancellation.
