A large Greek ferry hit a pier as it set sail on Thursday, forcing the authorities to cancel its departure.

The high-speed Ro-Pax ferry Festos Palace collided with the pier as it left the port of Iraklio on Thursday, bound for Piraeus.

There were no injuries but the port authority stopped the ferry’s journey so it could be inspected.

The ferry was carrying 280 passengers, 50 cars, 74 trucks, five motorcycles and two buses at the time.
