How did a lorry blow over inside! No one hurt so that’s the main thing.

The report reckoned it happened when driving off.....but it is the daily mail....hardly a bastion of accuracy!

The photo seems to support it. Maybe the truck drivers still had wobbly sea legs when they took off

We’ve been getting battered over here. I was checking on my boat a few days ago...constant 45 to 50 knots out of the East straight up the harbour which is no good.

A finger pontoon snapped so much running about as the boats previously attached to it where quickly rescued.

Nearly spilt my coffee!

There are couple of lorries leaning over on the upper deck so must have been wave action :ambivalence:

A different report quotes a driver who was on board - he said it was a big roll that did it.

Should have been lashed down I would have thought.

On the Isle of Man ferry, they chain trailers down.....often!

Keep up at the back Bruce

If a roll caused it, probably not at the dock.....hopefully!!

Ah, It looked like they had been blown over on the ramp but on closer inspection it was the shelter deck. My bad. I see a promising career for my self as a reporter for Daily Mail.

Cargo moving about can sink ships. I wonder if the MAIB will investigate?
