The Tricolor had picked up its cargo in Zebrugge, Belgium and was on its way to Southampton, said Per Ronnevig, spokesman for its owners, shipping firm Wilhelmsen Lines.

Mr Ronnevig said, "We do not yet have a figure for the value of the cargo. We are working on the figures now. It will be several million dollars certainly. "The ship was carrying new cars but we are not sure what make they were yet."

Those are exactly the same two ships and the same location as mentioned in the C/D article listed previously. Some of the text matches exactly. I'm guessing this Daily Mail article is actually from 2002 and somehow got mislabeled.
