Smoke forces evacuation from ferry in New Zealand's Hauraki Gulf
All 18 passengers and crew were safely evacuated to waiting rescue boats. Another Coastguard New Zealand vessel later towed the stricken ferry to shore.
No injuries have been reported.
Island Direct said that it was later determined that there was no fire on the ferry, and that one of the engines had suffered an issue with its exhaust, causing smoke to spread throughout the vessel.
