Description:
On the night of August 21-22, 2023, the REGINA SEAWAYS ferry was sailing from the Irish port of Rosslare to the French port of Dunkirk when it was hit by a hurricane in the Irish Sea. The height of the waves in the sea was 6-7 meters, the wind speed was 35 m/s, gusts were up to 45 m/s. The passengers on board REGINA SEAWAYS were very scared and very lucky that the ferry was going against the wave in such weather conditions.

it is the structural interior damage that is worrying. Hurricane winds and 6-7m waves, yes, possible damages on deck or to cargo, yes, but needing a helmet inside a passenger cabin?? Ships are certified for all oceans and weather can be even worse than this as all sailors have experienced, none of my ships ever looked like this inside during or after a storm. So in my opinion not solid state built.
Not an advise but generally spoken, reducing speed and ease the angle of attack have helped in many severe weathers, trying to keep a possible schedule not.
Best wishes, Manfred
