Ship captain under the influence in Regensburg abandons vessel, causing ensuing chaos
In a recent incident that occurred on the federal waterway Danube, a 54-year-old ship's captain found themselves at the centre of a mystery. The incident took place near the Regensburg Sailing Club in the Regensburg East Harbor.
According to reports, the ship's captain collided with a berth during maneuvering, causing significant damage. The accident severely bent the structure of the berth and extended to the surrounding boats. Several moored boats were damaged, including outboard motors and swim ladders, resulting in mid-five-digit damage.
Despite the collision, the ship's captain continued their journey towards Geisling. This decision raised concerns, as officers who arrived at the scene noticed a strong smell of alcohol on the captain. Alcohol suspicion has been raised, and a blood test was conducted to confirm or refute the suspicion.
The public prosecutor's office has ordered the appointment of a person to accept service for the ship's captain. The incident is currently under investigation, and further details about the captain's actions or any potential legal consequences are yet to be disclosed.
A crucial piece of information leading to the resolution of the incident came from a 33-year-old witness. Water entered the engine room of one of the damaged boats, but the exact cause of the collision remains unclear without the complete investigation report.
As this is a developing story, it is advisable to check local news sources or official maritime reports for the most accurate and up-to-date information. The incident serves as a reminder of the importance of safety and responsible behaviour on our waterways.
