The tanker Atlantic Asphalt collided on Friday in the port of the American city of New Orleans with the moored river cruise ship American Heritage, operated by American Cruise Lines. The vessel, carrying approximately 129 to 130 people on board, capsized onto its side after the collision and partially sank in the Mississippi River. teraz.sk ↗
A large-scale rescue operation was launched following the accident. Rescuers pulled 12 people out of the water and transported approximately 32 people to hospitals. According to later reports, all the people from the ship were rescued. No serious injuries have been reported so far. Le Monde ↗
The collision occurred in the harbor area while the cruise ship was near the shore. The cargo vessel struck it, causing it to tilt significantly. Part of the ship ended up below the water's surface, which complicated the evacuation of passengers and crew. Le Figaro ↗
Authorities have not yet released details about the cause of the accident or the circumstances of the tanker's movement. Rescue services continued investigating the situation and securing the accident site. Further information is expected once the rescue and investigative work has been completed.
