Did the Sirena Seaways have all the watertight doors closed when she was mooring in the berth?

From what I heared no as they had to get staff to close the watertight doors

What a stupid and a dangerous situation, the vessel could have been capsized! All watertight doors must be closed when the vessel is sailing in a narrow channel or when she is berthing. There are some closed conditions of the watertight doors. I think that the regulations regarding the watertight doors must be observed more strictly! I don't want another tragic accident with loss of many lifes.

I dont know, But judging by the angle it was at looked like it had stalled, Either way its has destroyed Harwich Ro-Ro 3, Luckly that is never really used, When i came home that night is was no longer listing and was sat in Ro-Ro 4 near the Oil terminal.

that terminal isnt really used for anything, every few months we have a ship called Wind Ambition come in what is a Floating Hotel and is usally deployed on the Windfarms of the East coast, but didnt use the ramp, just that birth


Is there any news if a ship is being charted by DFDS to cover for Sirena Seaways?

Hi guys, I think the word is spelled berth (birth means having a baby)   ;)

According to my Local Newspaper,

The Ferry should sail back into service on Friday Next week (5th July)

and DFDS haven't bothered with a Charter Vessel
