Finnish ferry drifted for 45 minutes in Baltic Sea

A company official says a Finnish passenger ferry carrying almost 1,200 people drifted for about 45 minutes in the Baltic Sea after suffering a power failure. Viking Line spokeswoman Helena Kneck says there was never any danger for passengers or crew of the M/S Mariella and that the ferry continued on its route after power was restored in the early hours of Saturday. The ferry lost power near the Aland Islands archipelago just before midnight Friday after problems with the fuel supply to its electric motor system.
