Irish naval engineers are assessing damage to the LÉ Aoife patrol ship after it struck a pontoon at a deepwater quay on Saturday.
In video footage recorded by tourists, the ship can be clearly seen striking the pontoon with its bow.
Ireland’s Naval Service said the accident had been caused by a mechanical problem which led to the vessel propelling forwards when it should have been gone backwards. They noted that the 34-year-old ship’s age may also have been a factor. It is due to be decommissioned by the end of next year.
