Two large passenger ferries narrowly avoided a collision near the entrance to the port of Rosslare Harbour earlier this year, an investigation has revealed.
A report by the Marine Casualty Investigation Board has revealed details of what was described as a “close quarter incident” at the Co. Wexford port on March 16 when the two vessels passed within 100 metres of each other outside the harbour’s breakwater.
