Container ship rams ferry

A large container ship hit the ferry at the Elbe, which maintains the connection between the Hamburg districts of Blankenese and Finkenwerder.

How the accident could happen Saturday afternoon is still unclear. The 400 meter long Evert Given fell out of course and cracked the Finkenwerder, which was moored on a pontoon. The jetty was also damaged. The ferry had no passengers on board besides the captain and two crew members. The timetable has been provisionally deleted.
