The end of an unexpected vacation. The 393 passengers who returned last night from Palma and Ibiza on the fast ferry Pinar del Río of the Baleària company landed in port helped by Salvamento Marítimo and the Civil Guard. For reasons that are being investigated, the vessel, which also carried 70 vehicles, ran aground at the pier of the port of Dénia at 23.20 at night, which caused the emergency protocol to be activated and the ferry was evicted without No passenger will suffer personal injury .

According to sources from the shipping company, a team of divers work early in the morning to find out the reason for the accident, assess the damage of the boat in the case of starboard and establish a plan to refloat it and drive it to the port. In addition, Salvamento Marítimo has deployed an anti-pollution barrier in case some fuel spillage could occur during the rescue work, something that has not occurred at the moment.

The evacuation of the ship lasted for more than two hours, until two o'clock in the morning, and there were many passengers who when they arrived on land were without their vehicles and luggage , which caused complaints both in the information window enabled by the company as in social networks.

Baleària made available to customers who had their vehicle on board two buses , one to Valencia and another to Alicante, with stops both in different towns and assured that they will keep in touch with them to inform them when they can withdraw it, since They do not know how long the work will be carried out to recover the ship safely. What they have achieved is to disembark and deliver to the passengers all the belongings they had on board.

The shipping company will relocate customers who had to travel today and in the next few days with the Pinar del Río on the Dénia-Ibiza-Palma route, on Cecilia Payne, Ramon Llull and Marie Curie.
