Passengers were seen jumping in the sea to save themselves while some parents carrying kids remained on the ship. It's not yet known if anyone has been killed. ‌ The maritime disaster comes just a day after a tourist boat carrying more than 50 people capsized off the coast of Vietnam, killing at least 38, reports the Mirror. ‌ The ferry had earlier departed from the Talaud Islands and was en route to Manado when it erupted in a blaze off the coast of North Sulawesi on July 20. A joint search and rescue team has been deployed to the location where the ship caught on fire. ‌ "Yes, the KN Bima Sena Likupang team immediately went to the location. Basarnas ships and boats from several dive resorts were also on site," said the Head of Basarnas Manado, George Randang.
