Venezuela navy vessel sinks after 'ramming cruise ship'
A Venezuelan navy coastal patrol boat sank in the Caribbean after allegedly ra
mming a cruise ship that it had ordered to change direction.
The owners of the Portuguese-flagged RCGS Resolute said the naval vessel Naigu
ata also fired shots in an "act of aggression in international waters”.
The collision left the cruise ship, which has a reinforced hull for sailing in
icy waters, with only minor damage.
Venezuela accused the Resolute of an act of "aggression and piracy".
It also said it "did not rule out" that the cruise ship "was transporting merc
enaries to attack military bases in Venezuela".
President Nicol嫳 Maduro has previously accused the United States and other co
untries of plotting to overthrow him.
The incident took place near La Tortuga Island, a Venezuelan federal dependenc
y, on 30 March.
Columbia Cruise Services, which operates the Resolute, said the cruise ship ha
d been carrying out routine engine maintenance in international waters more th
an 13 nautical miles (24km) from La Tortuga.
A statement from the Hamburg-based company said that shortly after midnight, t
he Naiguata radioed the Resolute, questioning its intentions, and ordered the
captain to follow it to a port on Isla Margarita, to the east.
"While the master was in contact with the head office, gunshots were fired and
, shortly thereafter, the navy vessel approached the starboard side at speed..
. and purposely collided with the RCGS Resolute," it added.
"The navy vessel continued to ram the starboard bow in an apparent attempt to
turn the ship’s head towards Venezuelan territorial waters."

Although the Resolute - a purpose-built polar expedition vessel - suffered min
or damage, the patrol boat began taking on water after hitting its bulbous bow
, according to the statement.
Columbia Cruise Services said the Resolute remained in the area for more than
an hour and contacted rescue co-ordinators on the Dutch Caribbean island of Cu
ra蓷o. All attempts to contact the Naiguata went unanswered and the Resolute e
ventually sailed to Willemstad on Cura蓷o, it added.
A statement by the Venezuelan military (in Spanish) accused the Resolute of "c
owardly and criminal" behaviour, "since it did not attend to the rescue of the
crew".
It said all the crew of the Naiguata had been rescued, but did not give detail
s.
Defence Minister Vladimir Padrino L鏕ez accused the Resolute of ramming the ve
ssel, "which caused its sinking".
President Maduro said an investigation had been launched and he expected "maxi
mum collaboration" from authorities in Cura蓷o.
