Port had no plans for bad weather | Herald Scotland: ACCIDENT investigators have criticised contingency plans at a Scottish port after a P&O ferry suffered a number of accidents while berthing in heavy winds.
ACCIDENT investigators have criticised contingency plans at a Scottish port after a P&O ferry suffered a number of accidents while berthing in heavy winds.
The Norcape roll-on, roll-off vessel attempted to berth at Troon in Ayrshire on November 26 last year but was thwarted by strong winds. A second attempt a day later also failed and the ship was grounded.
A further accident occurred when a tug was sent to haul her into deeper waters but its towline slipped and got caught in the Norcape's propellers, injuring a crew member as it was pulled over the side.
