The 102 meter long, 2790 dwt fish factory Master caught fire in the Bering Sea near Tilichiki, Kamchatka, Russia.  The fire started while fish was being transferred to a reefer.   Seventy-six of the 84 crew were evacuated to the reefer while the remaining crew fought the blaze.   A few hours later the crew were able to extinguish the fire.  The Master suffered extensive damage to the engine room and bridge.   The vessel will be taken under tow to Nevelsk, Sakhalin Island.   No reports of injuries or pollution released.
