Cruise ship repaired
A cruise ship with 1,000 people on board that was disabled by a fire and was drifting in southern Philippine waters has been repaired and is headed towards Malaysia, the Philippine coast guard has said.
The Azamara Quest informed the coast guard that its power and propulsion had been restored and it was moving slowly toward Sandakan, its next destination after it left Manila on Thursday, spokesman Lt Cmdr Algier Ricafrente said.
