HELSINKI, March 22 (RIA Novosti) - A 10-deck passenger ferry bound from Norway to Denmark caught fire Thursday morning, Norwegian authorities said.
Some 350 passengers of the Peter Wessel ferry, traveling from the city of Larvik to the city of Hirtshals, were evacuated onto upper decks, and the ship's owner, Color Line, said the fire has been localized and that the passengers are not in danger.
A special tugboat is expected to tow the ferry to a Danish port for repairs.
