The 285 meter long passenger cruise ship Westerdam caught fire off Victoria, British Columbia, Canada.  The Westerdam with 2086 passengers was en route to Alaska when a fire broke out in a boiler room.  The fire was extinguished by the crew, but it had flared up a second time and extinguished again.  The Westerdam proceeded to Seattle escorted by a tug where it could be inspected.  Reports state the vessel would be inspected and depart again on its voyage to Alaska.  No reports of injuries or pollution released.
