Three port employees have been injured following an accident in the Port of Gdynia, following a collision between the Swedish ferry, Stena Spirit, and an arm of a container loading crane yesterday.

The Stena Spirit has since departed Gdynia and the investigation into the matter continues.
The following shows the aftermath of this disaster:
