24-Year-Old Migrant Found Dead in Vehicle Hold Aboard Ro/Pax Ferry

The beam (width) comes in at 61.3 metres, making it one of the widest ships afloat. Its gross tonnage is over 240,000 tonnes, meaning it can carry an almost incomprehensible amount of cargo across the world’s oceans. To put this in perspective: If y...
