When the HSS left Stranraer (Scotland) on its way to Belfast, when it was in Stranraer bay passengers heard a big crash, which was the lorry crashing into the stern ramp. it had to head back to port.

I believe the MAIB (Marine Accident Investigation Branch) will be doing a investigation. Not sure on this though.

There is info here = http://forum.shipais.com/index.php?showtopic=2345

I was looking at this on the news yesterday, they had the "Stena Seafarer" in the shot at one point, I passed her on our boat when she was moored up in Fleetwood, shame I didn't have the camera with me, would have got some great shots!

It seems the lorry wasn't chained properly, and when the ship went fowards the truck went backwards..ouch  :-X
