German authorities have rated Mein Schiff 3’s recent collision with two cargo ships in Bremerhaven a “serious casualty.”

The classification comes from the Federal Bureau of Maritime Casualty Investigation (BSU), part of Germany’s Federal Ministry of Transport, which lists the case among its ongoing investigations.

This is the second most severe category in its classification, with only a “very serious casualty” ranking higher on its five-level scale.

The ship collided with two cargo ships, the MSC Victorine and MSC Anne F, while leaving Bremerhaven in stormy conditions on Sunday, October 25, with 2,428 guests and 922 crew members onboard, who disembarked on Monday morning.

While no one was injured, the cruise line was forced to cancel its planned trip to the Canaries due to the damage sustained in the incident.

TUI announced that Lloyd Werft Bremerhaven was selected to carry out the repairs on the ship, which was to move to its pier on Sunday, November 1.

The company also said that it expected more clarity at the start of this week on whether later voyages would be affected.

The next scheduled sailing is the 14-night “Enchanting Norway” itinerary, November 14-28, roundtrip from Bremerhaven.
