Boat sailing from Shenzhen hits local ferry at the harbor

On Saturday, a Shenzhen ferry, identified as “Taishan”, collided with a local ferry that was anchored at the Macau Ferry Terminal. Two passengers aboard the Shenzhen ferry were allegedly injured, according to a report by Macao Daily News.
The accident occurred around 2.45 p.m., around the same time heavy rains engulfed the city. The ferry had sailed from Shekou, Shenzhen, to Macau, and was carrying 121 people, including 112 passengers and nine crew. The local ferry that was hit was only carrying ten crew members at the time of collision.
The two people injured were a 53-year-old male passenger from Taiwan and a 41-year-old female from the mainland. The man’s neck and arm were reportedly injured, while the hand and head of the woman were injured.
The two boats only sustained slight damage to the front and rear. Operations at the ferry terminal were not affected by the accident, and all passengers onboard “Taishan” managed to enter Macau.
The Marine and Water Bureau will conduct an inspection of the Shenzhen ferry, according to the report.
