Passenger ferry docks safely after engines fail

A PASSENGER ferry which was at the centre of a full-scale sea rescue alert after losing power off the Wexford coast yesterday, docked safely in Wales last night.

The Stena Line ferry, Stena Europe, was also planning to make a return journey to Wexford overnight if given the all-clear.

An investigation has been ordered after all four of the ship’s engines failed, leaving it drifting without power in rough seas and 50mph winds 16 miles from Tuskar Rock.
