Princess Boat Goes Ablaze in Punta dell Este, Uruguay

An eleven meter Princess flybridge cruiser titled m/y Plus under Panamanian flag went ablaze as it was moored at dock no.2 at the Port of Punta dell Este, to the South of Uruguay on the morning of Monday nine June. The Coast Guard and Fire Department responded to the blaze, managing to control the fire before it spread to other nearby vessels.  No injuries are reported from the blaze and the Princess flybridge cruiser had no one onboard.  According to initial investigations the boat went ablaze due to an overload from the vessel battery system.  
The boat in this fire is a Princess 360 as designed by Bernard Olesinski and produced from 1993 to 1998.  The 360 was a replacement to the Princess 35 and was replaced by the second generation 38.
