Large rescue operations are taking place off the coast of Sweden on Monday where a car ferry with 300 people on the ship caught fire, said Swedish maritime authorities.
“There is a fire in the car deck,” Swedish Maritime Administration spokesman Jonas Franzen told AFP, adding that three helicopters and seven ships had been sent to the scene and the evacuation of the ship had begun.
There are no direct reports of injury and the cause of the fire is unknown.
“The fire is under control,” another spokesman, Lisa Mjorning, told AFP.
The ship, Stena Scandica, is located off the island of Gotska Sandon off the southeast coast of Sweden.
