SILVERSEA Cruises’ Silver Shadow has
sustained minor damage after colliding with a
container ship off the coast of Vietnam
overnight.
The incident occurred in deep fog, with the
Silversea vessel reportedly punching a hole in
the cargo ship and knocking passengers off
their feet, according to CNN.
Passengers were summoned to their muster
stations but were not evacuated, with
Silversea saying its ship “incurred limited
minor dents and guests’ safety was never
compromised”.
There were no injuries on the cruise ship
which continued to Ha Long Bay where all
shore tours operated normally, Silversea said.
