    BBC News - Sirena Seaways ferry damaged hitting dock in Harwich

    It does look like she's also taken out a barge of some sort.

    Looking at the pics it appears she was travelling too fast. Harwich Parkstone Quay can be a bit of a bitch dependent upon weather/tide.
    Doubt that is a barge she's hit, more likely the ramp for getting the vehicles on and off through the bow doors.
