(141228) -- ATHENS, Dec. 28, 2014 (Xinhua) -- Photo from a Greek website shows a view of an Italian-flagged ferry that caught fire off the Greek island of Corfu on Dec. 28, 2014. Adverse weather conditions were hampering ongoing international efforts to evacuate hundreds of people from an Italian-flagged ferry that has caught fire off the Greek island of Corfu, officials said here Sunday. A total of 478 people, including 422 passengers and 56 crew members, were on board the ferry, which was sailing to Ancona, Italy, via the port of Igoumenitsa in western Greece, a representative of the Igoumenitsa Port Authority told national broadcaster NERIT.
