FIRE OFF NORDERNEY..

At 3.20 a.m. on 31st. October 2015, an engine room fire broke out aboard the Beaumaris Bay off Norderney. The ship was on duty for Dong Energy’s 312MW Borkum Riffgrund 1 offshore wind farm. The crew activated an automatic alert on which the MRCC Bremen immediately responded. The lifeboat Bernhard Gruben was also alerted by the mayday call of the master on VHF, and headed towards the crew boat which was lying off Norderney's north beach in Force 4 southern winds. It had on board 12 passengers and a crew of two who started to tackle the blaze. The lifeboat arrived at the ship 12 minutes after the alert, the fire in one of the two engine rooms was under control at that time. The Bernhard Gruben escorted the Beaumaris Bay to Norddeich where both ships arrived at 4 a.m. At 5.15 a.m. the lifeboat was back at its station Norderney.
