Rare www3traveler Posted April 10, 2018 #1 Share Posted April 10, 2018 Heads up to anyone with cruises docking in Roatan, Honduras. The MSC Armonia hit the forward portion of the dock in Roatan this morning. From pictures and video posted on another site, there is damage to both the dock and the ship.

dexddd Posted April 10, 2018 #4 Share Posted April 10, 2018 Wow. I was going to say hopefully he was at ramming speed but anchor was dropped so not a good day for the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ldyandrea Posted April 10, 2018 #5 Share Posted April 10, 2018 Looks like they had their anchor down when they hit. Wonder if they were trying to slow down, but couldn't? :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruisingOnBy810 Posted April 10, 2018 #6 Share Posted April 10, 2018 Looks like he couldn’t slow down in time. Not sure why. Doesn’t seem like anyone was injured. Wondering how this will effect cruises in the near future. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkJedi Posted April 10, 2018 #7 Share Posted April 10, 2018 I wonder who was driving in this case. I can already imagine..... You had ONE job! Park the ship! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColinIllinois Posted April 10, 2018 #8 Share Posted April 10, 2018 I would be down at the Guest Services desk demanding a refund of my cruise fare, DSC, port taxes and made sure I got a pen with the cruise line logo. Oh..and a free dinner. And strawberries. Definitely choc covered strawberries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope there were no injuries, and the damage to the dock and ship can be fixed pretty quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rasvar Posted April 10, 2018 #11 Share Posted April 10, 2018 Oh man, that wrecked the dock. Ugh, might cause my cruise next month to have to tender. :(:(:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northwestbear Posted April 10, 2018 #12 Share Posted April 10, 2018 Wow! I really hope no one was injured in the accident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColinIllinois Posted April 10, 2018 #13 Share Posted April 10, 2018 All joking aside though, I didn't hear any kind of audible collision alarm for the crew/passengers or any kind of warning horn for those on shore or close to the pier. That seems a bit odd. Maybe our resident ChengKP poster can chime in with what the procedure is. Or, of course, anyone else with maritime operation experience.

roger001 Posted April 10, 2018 #15 Share Posted April 10, 2018 With the speed and the angle it approached, and the anchor chain dragging already, must have been something mechanical that prevented steering or deceleration. I can't imagine that having just been an accident or carelessness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDougOut Posted April 10, 2018 #16 Share Posted April 10, 2018 Maybe a power loss, since it stopped reporting its position before it hit? Isn’t that what happened with the Dawn in Bermuda a couple years ago? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shmooo Posted April 10, 2018 #18 Share Posted April 10, 2018 I’m supposed to be coming in on the getaway May 3rd. Would this likely be fixed by then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColinIllinois Posted April 10, 2018 #19 Share Posted April 10, 2018 I’m supposed to be coming in on the getaway May 3rd. Would this likely be fixed by then? There is no way to answer that question at this point in time. It just happened so the scope of the damage to the dock and the structure will have to be determined followed by repairs and the thumbs up for use.
