Severe storms on the Spanish island of Mallorca caused the P&O Cruises flagship, Britannia, to break free from its moorings and collide with a moored tanker named Castillo De Arteaga. The incident resulted in minor damage to both ships, with tugs quickly assisting in bringing Britannia back to its mooring. Passengers on board described the ship floating away in the storm, and some were treated for minor injuries. The collision narrowly missed a nearby ferry, the GNV Spirit, avoiding a potentially more serious accident by a one-minute difference.
