It is noted that people are being evacuated with the help of helicopters, since a strong wind and heaving in the area of emergency do not allow the crew to lower the lifeboats.
Some passengers, having received injuries of varying severity as a result of the incident, were hospitalized in local hospitals.
Channel 5 posted a video from the scene of the incident.
