A 26-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of arson after a fire alert sparked an emergency evacuation from the DFDS vessel King Seaways when she was 30 miles off the Humberside coast after leaving North Shields for Umuiden on 28 December 2013. Two crew members and four passengers, including a pregnant woman, were winched off the 31,395gt ferry King Seaways and taken to Scarborough Hospital by helicopters from RAF Leconfield near Hull and RAF Boulmer in Northumberland, with a further 15 passengers and eight crew members treated for smoke-related injuries by doctors travelling aboard.
