    Rule 1- don't try to park any faster than you want to hit the pier at..

    Three people killed as Costa cruise ship slams into pier in Egypt

    A Costa Cruises ship crashed into a pier early today as it was docking at the Red Sea port of Sharm el-Sheik, Egypt, killing three crew members and injuring several passengers.

    Costa Cruises says in a statement that the accident happened around 4:45 a.m. local time as the 1,494-passenger Costa Europa was pulling into the Egyptian resort town -- a common stop for ships traveling through the Red Sea.

    "Costa Europa, while docking in Sharm el-Sheik port, hit the pier and reported damage on the right side," the statement says. "We sadly confirm that three crew members are deceased (and) that three passengers and one crew member required a visit to the city hospital."

    Costa says the vessel now is safely docked. Photos of the ship show the vessel listing notably to port.

    Hitting something (anything!) with a cruise ship = career change for the Captain.

    I would think "tugboats" would have the most control of the ship, just a guess.
