It was the Crucestar. According to a Russian report (Google translated it for me) she was sailing under Moldavian flag with a Ukrainian captain and first hit the A-ROSA Mia then the concrete wall next to the Mia. Embedded in the report is a video taken by someone onboard the Mia that had been posted on Facebook. The German audio contains unhappy comments (very understandibly so).
