Passengers evacuated from Ocean Star Pacific cruise ship after fire

A fire onboard Ocean Star Pacific over the weekend has seen crew and passengers evacuated

The ship was sailing off the coast of Huatulco, Mexico when a fire in one of the ships generators knocked out power to the ship

The Associated Press reports 522 passengers and 226 crew members aboard the Ocean Star Pacific on Saturday were evacuated by catamaran to the port of Huatulco on Mexico's West Coast.

The Ocean Star Pacific is a nearly 40 year old ship originally built for Royal Caribbean as the Nordic Prince that just began sailing for a start-up Mexico-based line called Ocean Star Cruises. It was on its second voyage for the line, according to industry watcher Seatrade Insider.

Seatrade Insider quotes an executive at the company as saying it was a "small, small fire."

There have been no reported injuries to passengers or crew
