    From ABC news

    "It is understood the boat was the MV Norval, which overturned and caught fire about 9.00am at Rock Cod Shoal, about 20 kilometres off Gladstone."

    Fairly unlikely it overturned then caught fire! Perhaps the other way around. Good to hear everyone made it off safely.

    Article says the tender flipped probably from being overloaded
