TWENTY-SEVEN people were injured when a ferry struck a buoy at Macau Outer Harbor yesterday, the local police authority said.
The ship, carrying 175 passengers and eight crew, had left for Hong Kong at 12:15am. It had been sailing for 15 minutes when it hit the buoy.
One passenger said he had been resting in his seat when he heard a loud bang and was jolted by the impact. He said that he escaped injury as he had his seat belt on, but that passengers who had not fastened theirs were hurt.
The ship sailed back to the harbor. Police said 27 passengers were injured, with 25 sent to hospital. Most had scratches and bruising.
An initial inquiry has been launched.
