• Nearly 90 trucks were evacuated from a Stena Line ferry last week when a fire broke out in the engine room shortly before it was due to leave Holyhead for Dublin.
The Stena Forwarder's crossing was delayed by 36 hours while repairs were carried out. Nobody was injured in the blaze, which erupted in pipework leading to the funnel.
A company spokeswoman says: We are looking into what caused the Fire but incidents of this sort are not unusual." Another Stena Line ferry was withdrawn from service for 24 hours after fire broke out in the engine room. The vessel was berthing at Holyhead when the incident happened on the same day as the Forwardercaught fire.
