The  62 meter long, 669 dwt fishing vessel Okhotnik caught fire while docked at Vladivostok, Russia.   The five crew on boarde were able to escape the flames.  The local fire brigade responded  as the flames engulfed the cargo hold.  The hold loaded with packaging materials made the fire difficult to extinguished.  After several hours, the fire fighters were able to bring the fire under control.   One crew man suffered injuries from smoke inhalation and was taken to hospital for treatment.  The source of the fire was not reported.
