Bus bother

A Danish ro-ro ferry had to return to port after crew discovered a fire ina bus on the vehicle deck.

The 2,200-gt Vesborg (built 1995), operated by Nordic Ferry, headed back to Tars only 10 minutes after leaving for Spodsbjerg on 7 March, a local report said.

A fire alarm had sounded, alerting crew to dense smoke coming from the bus,caused by oil catching fire.

The blaze was quickly extinguished and there was no danger to the 19passengers. The ship was later able to complete its voyage.
