A 33-year-old man is currently in police detention in Split following an incident involving a collision in the city’s harbor. He was taken to the Regional State Attorney’s Office in Split today for a hearing, where prosecutors are anticipated to request a detention order from the investigating judge. The man is accused of failing to relinquish control of the navigation initiative, despite possessing a clear view of the surrounding circumstances.
Furthermore, authorities allege he operated the vessel at a speed inappropriate for the density of maritime traffic within the Split Gate area. An ongoing investigation has revealed critical details surrounding the collision. Investigators determined the catamaran was traveling at 32 knots at the time of the incident.
Simultaneously, a French-flagged yacht was operating at a significantly reduced speed, utilizing solely sail power and not employing its motor. The investigation continues, and the prosecutor’s office is preparing to present their case. The incident occurred in Split, and the investigation is focused on determining the factors contributing to the collision.
