According to the Diario de Mallorca, it was only a miracle that the oil spill did not occur. According to the publication, on Sunday the wind ripped the ocean liner from its place and dragged it to the other end of the pier, where the oil tanker was. The first inspections of the ships showed that the tanker was hit, but there were no fuel leaks. Crews need time to determine what other damage has been caused. According to the Port Authority, Britannia has suspended all voyages along the route until a full inspection of the liner is complete. No casualties have been reported.
In addition, in Ibiza, a ferry that connects the island with the peninsula received a hole. It hit the pier while it was moored. None of the passengers were injured.
The storm is currently heading towards France and a storm warning has already been issued in several departments. According to forecasts by meteorologists, the wind speed can reach 130 km/h.
