However,\u00a0Davide Calderan, the head of one of the tugboats accompanying the cruise ship, believes the issue can be pinpointed to an engine failure. “The MSC ship had an engine failure, which was immediately reported by the captain,”\u00a0Calderan\u00a0said. “The engine was blocked, but with its thrust on, because the speed was increasing.”\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The MSC Opera incident has left five injured, <a href=\"https:\/\/abcnews.go.com\/Lifestyle\/wireStory\/cruise-ship-plows-tourist-boat-venice-63431003\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">according<\/a> to <em>The Associated Press<\/em>, while the local Venice newspaper\u00a0<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/video.ilgazzettino.it\/nordest\/venezia_momento_schianto_grande_nave-4532178.html\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Il Gazzettino<\/a>\u00a0reports that several people were sent into the water\u00a0following the collision with\u00a0the smaller boat.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The cruise ship has been given authorization\u00a0to move to the Marittima terminal, as originally\u00a0planned, and commence with passenger operations.
