Seventeen passengers were hurt when a Bulgarian river cruise ship lost steering and hit the sides of a lock on the Danube in Austria, the apa news agency reported Saturday.
Eleven of the injured were taken to hospitals.
The ship with 142 passengers aboard, most of them from Germany, temporarily lost power to its electronics system and became unsteerable as it passed through narrow locks at 9:45 pm Friday, apa reported.
The ship’s power was restored but not before the bow and stern struck the concrete sides of the lock passage near the town of Aschach, a few miles upriver from Linz.

2nd November 2023
This UN International Day to End Impunity For Crimes Against Journalists is a bleak one. Today 33 media workers are confirmed killed in the Israeli-Palestine conflict: 28 Palestinian, 4 Israeli and 1 Lebanese. The Association for Caribbean Media Workers (ACM) also notes with sadness that Latin American and the Caribbean remains one of the deadliest places to be a journalist. According to UNESCO’s Director General Report on the Safety of Journalists and the Danger of Impunity, 69 journalists have been killed in the region in 10 countries from 2022-2023.
