There is also a report from Sky News that it was over its capacity by 20%. I hope the numbers are wrong.
It was below passenger capacity , it is rated for over 1400 passengers , though perhaps it may be cargo capacity they are talking about .
Ro/Ro ferries can be very succeptible to rapid sinking when something goes wrong due to the uncompartmentalised car decks , and this vessel dates from before the double doors system was introduced .
Anyway ..... Very very bad news .
