Crews rescued 172 people and recovered the body of a passenger from a ferry that caught fire in rough seas Wednesday near the Indonesian tourist island of Bali, authorities said.
The fire started about 4.15am while the Putri Yasmin ferry was en route from Padang Bai port in Bali to Lembar port on the neighbouring island of Lombok in West Nusa Tenggara province, according to the search and rescue office in Mataram, the provincial capital.
