    Thanks for the kind thoughts, Jan. Not my ship. The Dieppe Seaways is manned by French crew and is one of the original Superfast ferries. We were berthing on the Dover Seaways this afternoon when the incident happened. Apparently there was a large gout of white flame from a vent beneath the funnel, then there was quite a lot of smoke for half an hour or so. Problem with a boiler, I understand. There were masses of fire engines and other emergency vehicles massing on the docks, and the air ambulance landed on the lorry park. I took a load of photos and shall post some on Sea News in due course, only have a very slow internet link at the moment. Thankfully it sounds like nobody got seriously hurt.
