Passengers and crew had to be rescued when a fire broke out on a Spanish ferry from Mallorca.
150 passengers and crew had to abandon ship when the blaze began on The Sorrento while it was on its way to the coastal city of Valencia.
Several ships including two passenger ferries helped passengers and crew on life rafts.
At least three people were injured and have been taken to hospital by helicopter, reports the BBC. One is reported to be seriously hurt.
The fire, which broke out on the Italian owned ferry, started on one of the car decks yesterday.
"Due to the fire that it has suffered, The Sorrento may sink in the position in which it finds itself," the Balearic Islands port authority said in a tweet.
