This is the shocking moment a container vessel crashes into other ships docked in a Romanian port.

Footage, filmed by witnesses at the docks at around 11 am on Thursday, September 19, shows a large freighter called the 'Sky Light' loaded with shipping containers heading towards a docked vessel in Berth 52.

A horn blares before the large blue freighter, reportedly registered in Belize, rams into the smaller ship, crushing it against the quay.

It finally stops before a tugboat appears nearby, apparently preparing to assist.

Three ships were damaged during the incident, but no injuries were reported.

One vessel is said to have sustained severe structural impact, and the Port Authority is investigating the cause of the collision.
