At Pier 2 in the port of Civitavecchia 889passengers were trapped aboard the "Af Claudia" after the arrival from Olbia in the morning of Sep 3, 2019. The ferry had a problem with the tailgate from which passengers and 350 vehicles should disembark. They remained stuck for several hours due to a failure of the hatchback's hydraulic system until the ramp was opened with the help of a crane. The passengers were assisted according to European legislation and supplied with meals on board. The disembarkation of the passengers took place in two phases: about half was made to descend with a gangway around 10 a.m. The rest waited for the door to open and left the ferry at 3 p.m. Report with photo: https://internapoli.it/la-nave-ha-un-problema-con-il-portellone-850-persone-restano-bloccate-a-bordo/
