Two cruise ships broke from their moorings amid windy weather
Windy weather caused two MSC Cruises and Norwegian Cruise Line ships to break from their moorings.
MSC Sinfonia broke away from the moorings at the pier while in port in Syracuse, Italy, on Saturday. The ship was blown into a nearby marina due to “extremely high” wind gusts reaching over 70 knots – around 80 miles per hour – cruise line spokesperson Field Sutton said.
“The ship was in lay up without any passengers on board and no injuries were reported,” Sutton said in an emailed statement. “MSC Sinfonia has been safely returned to her mooring with the assistance of tugboats.”
