Ferry carrying 900 people narrowly avoids North Sea disaster
A passenger ferry from Newcastle is slowly making its way to Norway, after two fires on board left it drifting in the North Sea.
The Princess of Scandinavia, which lost power when two fires broke out in its engine room and smokestack, has started moving under its own power.
The crew put out the flames and managed to restart the engines, ending an evacuation threat to nearly nine hundred passengers and crew.
The Princess of Scandinavia got into trouble off eastern Scotland on its way from Newcastle to Norway, two hundred miles east of Edinburgh.
Some on board have been treated for shock but none of the passengers and crew have been hurt.
