A fishing vessel from Seattle caught on fire early Wednesday in the Bearing Sea, 136 miles of Dutch Harbor, Alaska, according to the Coast Guard.

Nobody was injured on the 253-foot Pacific Glacier, Coast Guard Petty Officer Barry Lane said. Ninety out of the 106 crew members were transferred to almost 10 nearby vessels when the fire broke out. The other 16 remained to fight with the fire below decks along with crew members from the other vessels.

The fire was reported by the vessel around 6:30 p.m. and the Coast Guard cutter Alex Haley arrived at midnight but nobody was sent aboard.

Early today the Coast Guard didn’t have any information about the damage suffered by the vessel or the possible level of pollution caused by it.

The fishing vessel is owned by Glacier Fish Co.

The fire was said to be above the water line. According to Lane, the flames were not visible outside the boat.

The company’s website says that the Pacific Glacier was built at Todd Shipyard in Seattle to serve as a supply ship. In 1988 it was redesigned by Fisker Strand & Eldoy and rebuilt by Mjellem & Karlsen in Norway with a refrigeration system, state-of-the-art fillet machinery and Japanese surimi equipment.

Petty Officer Sara Francis said that a chopper monitored the fire and was the connection between the crew and the rescue team.

It didn’t say how the crew members landed on the other vessels. It’s possible that they could have lashed the boats together or used small boats.

Francis said: "I suspect they used small boats just because you don't want to tie up to a boat that's on fire," Anchorage Daily News reports.

The fire allegedly started in the laundry room, but the cause was not determined.
