The breakdown aboard the Regina Seaways produced smoke, which triggered the ship’s fire extinguishing system in the engine room, Copenhagen-based DFDS Seaways said. The ferry, which also had cars and trucks on board, was travelling between the ports of Kiel, Germany, and Klaipeda, Lithuania. He said that on Tuesday afternoon “we received the information from the ship that it was undergoing vibrations and smoke rising from the engines”.
