Norwegian Cruise Line Passenger Rescued After Falling Into Sea in Corfu

A Norwegian Cruise Line passenger was rescued after falling into the water at the port of Corfu, Greece, when strong winds caused the ship's mooring lines to snap. The incident occurred as the boarding ladder shifted away from the pier, resulting in a 56-year-old New Zealand citizen falling into the sea. The ship's captain was briefly arrested by Greek authorities following the event but was released without restriction and has since resumed his duties. Norwegian Cruise Line confirmed the incident and noted that the vessel continued its voyage with only minor adjustments to call times. The passenger was transported to a local hospital for medical evaluation. Given the severity of the incident, what safety protocols should be prioritized when docking in high-wind conditions?
