gangway

Thousands of guests are also expected to visit the ship when it opens its gangway to the public for a ticketed event on 7 and 8 December.

Local authorities said the gangway has been secured and the incident is under investigation.

From kids in gangways trying out moves they had seen, to others gamely taking part in the public 'have-a-go' sessions around the park, the sport has been embraced.

Others loaded supplies aboard, carrying boxes down narrow gangways.

“An initial inspection by the crew indicates that damage to the vessel’s gangway is limited, and the vessel has remained stable and underway on a course out of the area.”
