The country’s coast guard said on Sunday that a ship carrying 120 people caught fire off the island of Bohol in the Philippines.
Videos released by the Philippine Coast Guard showed billows of black smoke and flames erupting from the back of the MV Esperanza Star.
All 120 passengers and staff members were safely taken from the ship, the coast guard informed CNN. It claimed that no injuries had been sustained and that the fire had been put out.
When the fire started, the ship was sailing between the Philippine islands of Siquijor and Bohol, according to the coast guard.
In a statement on Facebook, the coast guard said its rescue ships would remain in the waters of Panglao, Bohol, to monitor the situation.
