A number of trucks have been destroyed in a fire on a Stena ro-pax in the UK.
The EADT website said fire crews were called to the 64,000-gt Stena Britannica (built 2010) in the early hours of Wednesday morning at Harwich.
The blaze was located in a reefer lorry on a lower deck. It had spread to other vehicles.
The damaged trucks were later taken off the ship.
A spokeswoman from Stena Line said: “Stena Line confirms that an incident occurred on Stena Britannica early this morning 17 January while en route from Hoek van Holland to Harwich, when a fire started in a truck of a customer in the lowerhold (deck 1) of the vessel.
“The fire was extinguished by crew and the vessel proceeded to Harwich where passengers disembarked.
“No injuries to any persons. As per our procedures, the fire department was called on site.”
