Around 150 passengers are believed to have been on board the "Nordstjernen", which was on its way to Norway.

According to the state water protection authority, the ship was unable to move forward at the cruise terminal in the Baltic Sea port due to a technical defect and hit an embankment on the opposite bank. According to the police, there were no injuries or environmental damage due to leaking fuel.

The "Nordstjernen", built in Hamburg in 1956, then sailed to the nearest berth under its own power. According to the authorities, the ship was banned from continuing its voyage and brought to Rostock's overseas port by tugboats.
