I wonder if this will spell the end for RO-RO (roll on, roll of) ferrys, as the papers are already blaming the RO-RO design for the disaster.
I dont think so. It might spell the end of RO-RO's operated by cheap companies held to weak developing nation safety standards.

Modern, safe ships in competent hands are perfectly safe. But from the looks of that ship, i wouldn't have boarded her to cross the red sea if you had payed me.
