The car deck aboard Stena Europe
Via Rosslare Maritime Enthiusiats:
The Stena Europe left Rosslare Harbour on Saturday morning and should have arrived in Pembrokeshire Saturday lunchtime. It is understood that a number of foot passengers were “able” to disembark before conditions worsened. According to reports a mooring rope snapped forcing the vessel to leave the port before car and freight traffic could off load. Sea conditions were described as very rough entering Fishguard Harbour and the ship listed heavily. A passenger on board Rob Vincent said.. “Approaching Fishguard Harbour the ship rolled valiantly to port causing a lorry (above) to collapse on the lower deck”
