Ibiza maritime officials are suggesting that human error and excessive speed were probably to blame for the Maverick Dos ferry (operated by Baleària) running aground in Formentera yesterday evening. Only one person on board was slightly injured (there were only 27 people in total on the ferry), and measures to prevent any spillage have been taken.
Further information regarding the accident establishes that the safety procedures for taking passengers off the ferry worked perfectly and without incident, the ferry's captain and first officer remaining till the last to effect the evacuation. There also appears to have been no rupture of fuel lines that might create a spillage.
