‘Serious incident’ declared on cross channel ferry

A serious incident has been declared on board a cross channel ferry in the Republic of Ireland.

Stena Line have confirmed that an incident occurred this afternoon on the 14:00 sailing from Fishguard in Wales to Rosslare, Co Wexford.

Gardaí (Irish police) are currently at the scene.

The precise details of what has happened have not been revealed yet, but it has been confirmed that a crime scene has been declared.

Gardaí are conducting enquiries on board but they have stated that there are no public safety issues at this time.

The Irish broadcaster RTÉ is reporting that it is understood that a woman was fatally injured during the incident on board the ferry, and that a large force of gardaí, including armed officers, and other emergency services are at the scene.

The 19:00 local time outbound Stena sailing from Rosslare to Fishguard was cancelled.

Stena said the cancellation followed “an incident” on the incoming sailing from Fishguard.

Passengers are being accommodated by Irish ferries on the 20:45 sailing from Rosslare to Pembroke, according to the company.
