Firefighters were called to a boat blaze in Dubai on Saturday morning.
An Etihad Fire Station crew responded to the blaze, on a vessel moored at a port in the emirate's Bur Dubai district.
They arrived at the scene at 9.12am and were joined shortly after by officers from Al Karama Fire Station and a maritime rescue team.
The fire was brought under control by 10am, when cooling operations started, Dubai Civil Defence said on Saturday.
No injuries were reported. Investigations will be carried out to determine the cause of the blaze.

Tearful appearance
Chancellor Rachel Reeves set markets on edge as she appeared visibly distraught in parliament on Wednesday.
Legislative setbacks for the government have blown a new hole in the budgetary calculations at a time when the deficit is stubbornly large and the economy is struggling to grow.
She appeared with Keir Starmer on Thursday and the pair embraced, but he had failed to give her his backing as she cried a day earlier.
A spokesman said her upset demeanour was due to a personal matter.

Barings Bank
Barings, one of Britain’s oldest investment banks, was
founded in 1762 and operated for 233 years before it went bust after a trading
scandal.
Barings Bank collapsed in February 1995 following colossal
losses caused by rogue trader Nick Lesson.
Leeson gambled more than $1 billion in speculative trades,
wiping out the venerable merchant bank’s cash reserves.
