A caller to radio station 3AW revealed she witnessed more than 20 students being rescued in an emergency operation on the water. 

She told host Tom Elliot the ferry she was travelling on had to be diverted while the rescue was underway. 

'It looks like there's about 30 children who have life jackets,' she said. 

There are two ferry routes in Port Phillip, one between Portarlington and Docklands and another between Melbourne and Geelong. 

It is unclear if either route was interrupted by the marine rescue.
