    An aerial photograph shows a small vessel on fire in open ocean waters. The boat, which appears to be a fishing or small commercial vessel with a white hull and green stripe, has active flames and heavy black smoke billowing from its mid-to-stern section. The image was taken from an elevated vantage point, likely from an aircraft during a maritime emergency response.

    A fire burns uncontrollably aboard the Taiwanese fishing vessel Shin Maan Chun Saturday in the Pacific Ocean. The fire forced the crew of nine to abandon ship and through a coordinated effort between the U.S. 7th Fleet and U.S. Coast Guard Sector Guam, all of the fishermen were safely rescued and brought aboard the Marshallese-flagged bulk carrier Semirio.
