The ship was stopped. The tide pushed the ship, cable broke and caused the ship crash into the pier. |

Yes Haw! I think the pilot of this ship had one drink too many or not enough.  |

Re: Caribbean Ferry Kydon Crashes into the Pier During Docking Maneuver
They are lazy.  They obviously half-assed the docking procedure, not properly securing both ends of the ship. This. This right here. This is why you follow procedures! |
