Passengers on a car ferry that's caught fire off the coast of Greece have pleaded for help on the country's TV stations.

It's reported only around a third of the 466 people on the vessel have so far been rescued.

Greek officials claim bad weather is making the operation 'very complex'.

Sky News producer Anthee Carassava, who's in Athens, says at least 7 merchant ships are trying to help - but some of the rescuers themselves are distraught.
