The ship was not significantly damaged, while no injuries were reported. The cost of the damage is estimated to be at around half-million dollars.
Currently, no ships can dock at Mallory until crews can repair the mooring dolphin, which keeps the ships in a line and away from the pier, while docking.
The Silver Spirit was built in 2009, carries the Bahamas flag and can accommodate 608 passengers.
