 CLARA CAMPOAMOR (IMO: 9338022)

The accident occurred yesterday (June 17) about 2 a.m. and resulted in heavy damage to the yacht. It was reported to have sustained hull breaches at port side, which led to water ingress.

Only one of the yacht's crew, comprising four men and a woman, was slightly injured and taken to hospital for treatment.

The cause of the accident is yet to be defined.
