Arson is suspected after a cruise ship fire was put out at a Japanese shipyard.
The blaze was discovered on Sunday on the 3,300-passenger AIDA Prima which is under construction at the Mitsubishi Heavy Industries in Nagasaki.
The fire was put out swiftly and there were no injuries.
The shipyard did not disclose what damage had been caused.
Local police and firefighters said cardboard and insulation materials were found ablaze and may have been use to start the fire.
It is the third fire this month to hit the shipyard, following an electrical wiring fire on January 11 an a second small blaze on January 13.
The long delayed construction of the AIDA Prima is nearing completion and is due for delivery to the German cruise line AIDA in April.
