How does a cruise boat get to Venice
The Venice canal is a popular route that cruise ships use to enter the city. Tourists often board the cruise ships at San Basilio Pier. It is a busy stop on the canal. Cruises are then directed to the terminal next to Saint Mark's Square. Once they have disembarked, they head out to see the sights of the city.
Cruises have been known to run into docks numerous times and cause serious damage. A few cruise ships have even crashed into the dock. Another example is the recent docking incident in Rio de Janeiro Brazil.
What was the name of the cruise ship that docked at the dock?
MSC Cruises' 65.500-ton MSC Opera cruise ship was the one that docked at the dock. According to the company, the vessel was about to dock at a passenger terminal in Venice when it suffered a mechanical problem and lost control. The boat then crashed into Uniworld’s River Countess Riverboat, as well as a seawall.
MSC Opera crashed into the riverboat, causing the captain to call for help, but was unable to stop, said Davide Calderan, president of a tugboat association in Venice. The incident is a reminder about what can happen to a ship when it becomes out of control at a busy spot, especially when it is loaded up with passengers.
What are the dangers to cruise ships in Venice?
The Giudecca Canal, which allows large cruise vessels to enter Venice's city, has been a popular tourist route. Anti-cruise activists have made it a target, attempting to reroute large cruise ships from Venice's lagoon to Marghera instead.
According to a report by the Italian government, a new ban will be implemented on Venice's port in August. Ships will be rerouted from there to the mainland. This is a better solution than allowing the ships to dock in central London, which was a major concern of anti-cruise groups.
