In the evening of Sep 28, 2018, a truck almost plungd into the sea while attempting to leave the 'Sailor' in Paldiski upon its arrival from Kapellskär. The truck had a Latvian license plate. After the ferry had berthed in rough weather, the stern ramp suddenly gave way when the truck was about to roll down. It was caught on the partially flooded ramp, and the driver had a narrow escape from his flooded cabin. Later the crew managed to lift the ramp so far that the truck slid down onto the quay and could roll to safety. Finnish report with video: https://www.postimees.ee/... The driver who posted the video thought that the incident could have caused either the suspension of the ship's rig as a result of the storm, or the driver of the Latvian truck was too tired and began to sail without first obtaining permission.
