The captain of the Mein Schiff 3 cruise ship is under investigation after a powerful gust of wind pushed the 3,300-passenger liner into two container ships at a German port, causing damage estimated to run into millions and forcing the cancellation of its Canary Islands voyage.
Police are investigating whether the captain breached his duty of care during Sunday's collision in Bremerhaven, although no injuries were reported aboard any of the three vessels.
