During this period, caused by strong waves near the docked ship, hull number sea by strong waves pushed Hong Chung, despite pulling ropes, still once unsteady drift slightly away from the terminal, causing a springboard to the end of the shift has not fully stacked on the pier, was semi-vacant and slightly lower status, two landing passengers fell into the sea, once grabbed a springboard to the railings, lower body immersed in water, followed by the sailors, ferry and pier and jumped into the sea rescue personnel threw blisters.

Pier "through the end of" vulnerable to storms affecting
He said the ship berthing, the ideal is also fixed with six ropes of the boat, the bow and stern of the two groups of four ropes, to prevent the hull around the drift, the two ropes to prevent the boat drifting away from the terminal horizontal vessels .
Many of our terminals is a high shelf "through the end of" Design, vulnerable to storms and sea terminals around the affected vessels, or storms may affect the result of low tide, so the boat dock bollards bollards and bridging the gap between high, when the hull below the Pier, ropes may be terminal platform "put up" affect stability hull function.
