On April 16, a fire erupted onboard a vessel when it was transiting through the English Channel.
What happened?
The vessel ‘Finlandia Seaways’ was enroute from Zeebrugge to Rosyth when a fire erupted onboard the vessel.
The captain of the vessel was quick in alerting the Humber rescue service who in turn dispatched a vessel for assistance.
