Second time in a few weeks of a fire on a cardeck on board a DFDS-ferry, the Lisco Gloria and now this one. I suspect that DFDS may neglect safety measures on board of their ships! Large spaces like cardecks are not only vulnerable of getting water onto the deck with capsizing as a result, but also vulnerable of fire spreading through the deck.
