A number of trucks have been destroyed in a fire on a Stena ro-pax in the UK.

The EADT website said fire crews were called to the 64,000-gt Stena Britannica (built 2010) in the early hours of Wednesday morning at Harwich.

The blaze was located in a reefer lorry on a lower deck. It had spread to other vehicles.

The damaged trucks were later taken off the ship.
