Australia's icebreaker Nuyina 'hit' Tasman Bridge multiple times during computer simulations

In short: Computer-based simulations show Australia's Antarctic icebreaker "hit" Hobart's Tasman Bridge four times, and would have done so a further 10 times if the virtual trial wasn't aborted. The image shows the moment Australia's $528 million Antarctic icebreaker "collides" into a pylon as it travels under Hobart's Tasman Bridge. 'Catastrophic' risk not worth it 'Reputational' risk, cost blowout, damage control revealed in AAD ship saga documents Photo shows An aerial photo of Hobart's Tasman Bridge, looking towards the western shore and kunanyi/Mount Wellington Officials at the Australian Antarctic Division were left scrambling after a decision to block RSV Nuyina from transiting the Tasman Bridge and refuelling close to port, with the true cost of a 660km detour now revealed. "The consequences are you would get fatalities, let alone you'd lose a major part of Hobart's infrastructure, being the Tasman Bridge adjoining the eastern and western shores."
