Sixty-nine passengers travelling aboard a hydrofoil which caught fire while sailing Greece`s Argosaronic Gulf were safely evacuated from the vessel last week.

No one was injured in the incident although a number of passengers jumped overboard once they discovered the hydrofoil was on fire. The remainder were transferred to another Minoan<.> vessel.

The flying dolphin, operated by Minoan Lines, had departed from Aegina. In a statement, Minoan Lines said that all passengers who had lost personal items would be fully compensated. The cause of the blaze is being investigated.
