"Wind causes Norwegian cruise ship to break free from mooring ropes"

A Norwegian Cruise Line ship, the Norwegian Prima, broke free from its mooring ropes in Belgium due to unexpectedly strong side winds. The incident caused a gangway to fall into the water, but no injuries were reported, and all guests and crew are safe. The ship was on a 10-day sailing from Reykjavik, Iceland, to Southampton, England. Cruise industry experts note that while it is rare for cruise ships to break free from moorings, extreme weather conditions can sometimes lead to such incidents.
