All 47 people on board a ferry in St Kitts have been safely rescued, after the vessel ran into difficulty at sea.
The St Kitts Observer reported that the inter-island ferry, Apple Syder, began taking on water, shortly after departing Basseterre for Nevis yesterday.
The St Kitts and Nevis Coast Guard, along with local fishermen and nearby vessels, carried out a swift rescue operation.
Investigations are ongoing to determine the cause of what led the vessel to experience difficulties.
