Champion, a vessel operated by the Massachusetts Bay
Transportation Authority (MBTA), was sailing between the town of Hingham and
Boston's Long Wharf when a blaze ignited in her machinery space at around 14:30
local time. The MBTA assured that the
flames were, "immediately extinguished as quickly as possible," and
that all 25 of the ferry's passengers were safely evacuated onto Boston's
Castle Island park and then transported by bus to Long Wharf.
No injuries have been
reported.
Champion was later towed away from Castle Island. Her
regular route was temporarily served by other MBTA-operated vessels for the
rest of the day on Monday. The MBTA later said that an overheated
bearing may have ignited the blaze on Champion but clarified
that the investigation to determine the fire's probable cause is still
ongoing. The US Coast Guard is also
investigating the incident.
