Princess superyacht carrying 4,500 people was sunk while docking

Khánh Minh |

Princess Cruises' superyacht carrying more than 3,300 guests and more than 1,100 crew members suddenly crashed into a wharf in San Francisco, USA, on July 6.

No casualties were reported among the 3,328 passengers and 1,159 crew members after Ruby Princess unexpectedly collided with the Port 27 in San Francisco at around 6 a.m., returning from a 10-day round trip to Alaska, the New York Post reported.

I noticed the train moving quite fast to get to the dock, Sacramento resident Paul Zasso told ABC7 News. I was in the middle of the ship, looking out the window and the ship crashed into the port."

Jeremy Jordan, another passenger, said the impact of the collision was small, but certainly felt.

It is a mockery, just yesterday, the captain talked about how to dock and move between unpredictable flows. To be able to do that is a challenge for them," Jordan said.

An Princess Cruises spokesperson said the 18-bowl ship had a convex spot on the left rear of the ship and photos showed large, round, black spots along the left side of the ship.

The bridge appears to have suffered the consequences of the collision - some metal vases were broken.

San Francisco cannot immediately say the extent of the damage along the wharf.

The extent of the damage to the yacht has not yet been determined and could delay Ruby Princess's upcoming trip to Alaska.

The cause of the crash is still under investigation, but at the time of the crash, the ship was under the partial control of the San Francisco Expedition Service ( San San Francisco Bar pilots) - the unit's spokesperson confirmed.

The beauties are the ones who help large ships travel the 17 km long route between the San Francisco Bay and the final destination at the wharf.

San Francisco Bar pilots spokesman said the organization is collaborating with investigators.
