A German containership suffered a hull breach after being hit by a rig that had broken its moorings in the Canary Islands.
La Opinion reported that the West Taurus platform was forced into the berthed 749-teu Spica (built 1994) at Santa Cruz de Tenerife in Storm Emma on 1 March.
Footage from the port authority shows the rig drifting agonisingly slowly into the berthed vessel, which is visibly jolted on impact.
