About 40 passengers suffered minor injuries Friday morning when a ferry collided with a pier in Hong Kong’s financial district while docking.

Police said the accident occurred around 7:14 a.m. at Pier 9 in Central, with the boat operating under the Tsui Wah Ferry Service and carrying 130 passengers.

The force said medical assistance was provided to the 41 passengers who suffered minor injuries, adding that investigations were ongoing.
