A cargoship has been damaged after hitting the side in Colombia.

Video footage from Wednesday morning at Barranquilla shows the 7,850-dwt Murueta (built 2012) sliding along the dock until its anchor hits a bollard and breaks in two, as port workers look on.

The El Heraldo website cited the port authority as saying: "Thanks to the fact that we had all the security measures on the part of the ship, the port, the tugboats and the pilots, the damage generated to the dock was superficial."
