Stena Line's ferry Stena Superfast VII caught fire in Belfast Harbour (Northern Ireland) on Wednesday morning, July 19th.
Crews from Northern Ireland Fire & Rescue were scrambled to Victoria Terminal on West Bank Road.
According to Stena Line, a small fire had broken out on a backup generator aboard Stena Superfast VII. Luckily, no passengers were onboard at the time.
However, the fire caused delays to the day’s sailings.
A spokesperson for Stena Line said the company "can confirm that a small fire broke out in an emergency generator room onboard the Stena Superfast VII vessel this morning (July 19th) as it prepared to sail for the 11.30 hrs crossing from Belfast Harbour to Cairnryan."
"The fire was quickly extinguished by Stena Line crew, emergency services were alerted as a precaution. There were no passengers onboard the ship at the time and there were no injuries.
“The 11.30hrs sailing was cancelled and Stena Line is currently working on a revised sailing schedule for the remainder of the day and will advise all affected passengers accordingly.”
