Around 300 passengers were evacuated from the Tallink Megastar cruise ferry not long after midnight Thursday after a bus parked on the vehicle deck caught fire, Yle reported.
The fire does not affect the Megastar’s operations Thursday, nor Estonian shipping line Tallink’s ferry services more generally.
The blaze was spotted shortly before the ferry docked at Helsinki’s West Terminal, Helsinki Rescue Department reported, and around 300 passengers on board were evacuated.
There was no immediate danger of the fire spreading further.
Tallink Silja’s Communications Director Marika Nöjd told Yle no injuries were sustained, adding she did not yet have information about other damage caused by the fire.
