Florentia

A gaping 100 ft hole tore into the side of the "Florentia" as it left a dock and allided with the entrance to the former King George V dry dock in Southampton, Hants, on March 25, 2017, at 11.15 a.m. The ship ran into trouble navigating a narrow berth when it struck a concrete quay wall, tearing an enormous split into its side. The ship was towed out to sea at slow speed when the incident happened. The resulting scrape left a hole of approximately four metres length in its side, requiring repair work before going back out to sea. The old dry dock is being used to load bulk cargo, but the entrance is slightly narrower than the rest of the docks.
