The incident occurred due to strong winds. It is known that there are 25 victims, 15 of them were hospitalized.

In the port of Edinburgh, a large ship fell on its side in the dry dock due to strong winds. As a result of the incident, 25 people were injured, The Scotsman newspaper reported on March 22.

It can be seen that the Petrel ship tilted about 45 degrees due to the strong gust of wind. Police, ambulance and firemen arrived at the scene.

According to the National Health Service, 25 people were injured: 15 were taken to hospital and ten were treated at the scene.

In total, there were about 50 people on board.

Petrel was purchased in 2016 by an American businessman, Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen. After his death in 2017, the fund he created will continue to finance the work of the vessel, which will be used to search for the remains of lost ships.

City councilor for Leith, which is both a port and one of Edinburgh’s boroughs, Adam McVie called the incident a “major incident”.

It will be remembered that in February, a fire broke out on the Escape cargo ship in the Baltic Sea, which the security system on board could not put out. All 15 crew members left the ship, which drifted toward the western shore of the Gulf of Riga.
