Ferry sidelined after fire

Ferry operator Transmediterránea has been forced to suspend the scheduled departure of the 'Volcán del Teno' from Algeciras to Ceuta on May 17, 2019, at 9.30 a.m. because in the night of May 16 a fire broke out in the starboard engine upon its entry into the port of Algeciras, coming from Ceuta. There were 24 passengers on board. Due to the rapid action of the crew and the activation of fire-fighting devices further damage could be prevented.
