Horizon Super Yacht Collides Into Tank Ship in Ponza

A Horizon super yacht of 27 meters called m/y Main Time with six persons onboard collided with the Ponza water carrying tanker ship m/v Cesare on 02:30 early hours of fourteen August, four nautical miles away from the Ponza harbour.  The Horizon super yacht collided with the 69 meter water carrying tanker on its starboard side, suffering extensive damage from hull to top side, and causing it to partly sink.  Following the collision and damage assessment the Horizon super yacht was towed in shallower water to avoid total sinking.  The six persons onboard where saved by the tanker ship, and then questioned by the Ponza coast guard on the cause of the accident.  Main Time was traveling Gaeta to Ponza at the time of the accident, while Cesare was doing the opposite route.  On the nineteen and twenty August the yacht was re-floated and towed to Gaeta, where it was lifted up in a boat yard.  

The super yacht in this accident is a Horizon Elegance 88 as designed by Tommaso Spadolini and produced from 2002 up to 2005.  The Elegance 88 evolved into the 94 Dynasty, then the 97 RP, and in 2019 into the RP100, with all four models produced in thirty units.
