Almost 500 passengers are stranded for more than two hours on a ferry after it hits the quay while docking in Harwich and takes on water.

Am wondering if computers can`t be circumvented when approaching the quay, remember some cases when the steering or changing of directions failed, one time at L?beck-Travem?nde and the other one at Buchartkai at Hamburg, where the feeder "Charlotta" nealy sank the "Hanse Confidence".....

Best wishes, stay safe and take care
