The Cherbourg to Dublin Irish Ferry was hit with 105-knot winds as it was returning to Dublin on Sunday. Hundreds of thousands of pounds worth of vehicles were wrecked as they pinballed around the cargo deck. Thankfully no-one was injured in the incident apart from travellers pride and joy.

Errr. I hope she has buggered off by Sunday..... :(
Im not going to argue with you on this, but how do you know damaged vehicles was down to poor deck planning? EDIT: Sorry you mean the cavalier attitude of 'Send 'er on, she'l make the crossing rightly' management? If so I see where your coming from.
Know all about it. We're 'fortunate' enough to work aboard the company's flagship. Latest in the industry, £550M joint venture with SHELL. Winter of 2013/2014 we were the only Dive Support Vessel out of 8 in the North Sea still working, everyone else had ran for shelter in Peterhead, Invergorden or Aberdeen, but we had to prove a point. Myself & a fella from Chester were working on the seabed until we were physically dragged off the job as the vessel couldn't hold her position after getting hit side on by a 92knot squall. You'l make the headlines alright lads..
