Fire Scare Aboard British Cruise Ship
The Boudicca, a Fred Olsen cruise liner, with more than 1,000 people on-board has been left without power off the coast of Morocco after an engine fire. Passengers of the U.K. based luxury cruise liner were terrified when a fire plunged it into darkness and they prepared to abandon ship. The Boudicca was sailing off the coast of Casablanca, Morocco at 4am on Sunday when the engine room caught alight. As the ship lost power and started to list the passengers were ordered to put on life jackets and assemble at emergency locations. However, it is now on the move again with three auxiliary engines and two main engines running.
