Fred Olsen just can't get a break as engine fire damages cabins causes cruise to end in Madeira


Plagued by Norovirus and other problems during the earlier part of this year, one of Fred Olsen's ship named Black Watch suffered an engine  fire recently  and according to Cruise Industry News was limping to Madeira.
Madeira on Saturday. There was apparently some damqage to the cabins as well as limited power from the ship's engines. 
The Cruise ended Funchal where the cruise line chartered  jet to take passengers home, not exactly a happy ending to a vacation.
The ship needed two tug boats to get into port.
Cruise  Industry's article  stated that the ship need a number of days for repairs and that the next cruise is still on schedule to leave from Tilbury on July 8, 2016.
