A Cyprus-flagged cargo ship crashed into a pier in Marina di Massa, causing a partial collapse, the Italian Coast Guard reported on Wednesday.
The 103-meter vessel, Guang Rong, went adrift late Tuesday (January 28) amid rough seas, likely due to strong winds along the Tuscan coast. Authorities confirmed that no injuries were reported, and all 13 crew members were safely evacuated.
"Extreme weather conditions caused the ship to run aground against the pier," said Massa Mayor Francesco Persiani in a statement.
Regional officials expressed concern over the damage to the iconic pier, a significant landmark in the coastal town. Tuscany Governor Eugenio Giani announced that structural assessments would be conducted before reconstruction efforts begin.
Italian authorities have launched an investigation into the incident to determine potential liability for damages. Meanwhile, cleanup operations are underway to mitigate any environmental risks.
