The fire could was extinguished by the crew who flooded the engine room with CO2 and brought the situation under control. The deployment of the fire brigade was not necessary.

To be on the safe side, it was decided to leave the engine room closed until the morning of 20th. March when fire fighters from Breskens and Oostburg attended at around 08:00 a.m. so that the engine room could be opened in a controlled manner and, where necessary, remaining hot spots immediately extinguished.
