Container ship MAERSK HOUSTON broke off her moorings at Koper Port, Slovenia, late at night Jul 19, when strong wind with gusts up to 130 kilometers/hour struck Koper and port. The ship started to drift towards passenger terminal, situated across the basin. Luckily, tugs quickly responded, and container ship was taken back to berth, with minimal damages.
