Neptune-Thelisis

On June 7, 2017, the "Neptune Thelisis", which had arrived from Piräus at 9 a.m., allided with a quay at Luka Koper. The ship had been moored at the quay when a severe storm struck the area. The strong winds with gusts reaching 110 kilometers per hour slammed against the car carrier. The winds were strong enough to pull it away from the pier, snapping the bow mooring lines. The ship then swung around and struck against the quay and a gantry crane which fell over and was completely demolished. The vessel only sustained multiple scratches and minor damage. Damage by the storm was reported to be between 15 to 20 million €. The "Neptune Thelisis" remained in port to be surveyed for hull damage and complete repairs. Both the harbour authority and the vessel’s owners deny responsibility for the incident and litigation was expected.
