A SHIP has crashed into a railway bridge in Fremantle, cutting rail access to the West Australian port city, local media reported today.
The ship, a refueling vessel called the Parmelia 1, hit the bridge on early this morning just before peak hour, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) reported.
The 65-meter vessel was reportedly towed away from the bridge by two tugs after it struck about 6:30 am (local time).
Public Transport Authority (PTA) of Western Australia spokesman David Hynes said the crash had damaged its railway lines and commuters had been affected.
"This is not one we get every day. A ship has hit the railway bridge at Fremantle and damaged the bridge and damaged our lines there so we can't run trains in and out of Fremantle," he said.
Hynes said the PTA was trying to organize replacement buses.
Harbormaster Allan Gray told the ABC that no fuel was spilt during the collision but an investigation would be carried out.
