M/V Fantastic, Grandi Navi Velaci -- October 30, 2008

The ship arrived in Genoa after she snapped a stabiliser in stormy seas off Genoa on October 30th, 2008. She was carrying 439 passengers at the time, 37 were seriously hurt during the incident and several damaged vehicles on the car deck. Apparently she has suffered engine problems after being hit by a 60kt gust of wind just before the stabiliser damage and the captain was forced to drop anchors in order to avoid a collision with the breakwater.The ferry was enroute from Barcelona at the time.
