Cambridgeshire Fire and Rescue Service's first training exercise on board a ship has been hailed a success.
Crews from around the county were called to Wisbech Port on Wednesday evening (Oct 19) for a simulated fire in the engine room of a 3,000 tonne Russian ship, with casualties and persons overboard.
The Incident Command Unit from Huntingdon attended along with crews from Wisbech and Huntingdon. Crews from Dogsthorpe with specialist in-water training also attended, together with two crews from Outwell and West Walton in Norfolk.
Twenty-five firefighters had to locate and gain access to the ship’s engine room where the fire was located and carry out a search and rescue of all on-board casualties and extinguish all fires.
Dogsthorpe firefighters wearing drysuits used an inflatable boat to locate and rescue three casualties in the water, working alongside two crews from Fenland District Council’s Harbour Authority, who also had three members of staff shoreside, including Harbour Master Jamie Hemming and a representative from Fenland District Council’s Health and Safety Department.
Exercise Poseidon, as it was referred to throughout the exercise, saw dummies thrown into the water some distance from the ship, which was moored at the harbour in Nene Parade, close to the town centre.
Hazards faced by the crews included narrow passageways, trip hazards with ropes and a potential to fall in the water.
On-board operations took place in dark, narrow passageways with one room filled with smoke. Firefighters searching for bodies in the River Nene worked in night-time conditions.
Although Wisbech firefighters have attended a fire on board a ship before, it was over the border in Norfolk.
Wednesday night’s Exercise Poseidon, however, was Cambridgeshire’s first in-county training exercise on board a ship.
Watch Commander Phil Pilbeam, from Wisbech Station, spent eight weeks planning the event with Crew Commander Tim Carr.
“I’m really pleased with how things went. It all went really smoothly.”
He said the exercise provided a unique opportunity for firefighters to train on board a ship.
"Firefighters in Cambridgeshire are well trained and knowledgeable in house fires, factory fires and Road Traffic Collisions etc. However, a ship fire is unique. It's in a confined space, it's made of metal and it's a lot hotter because it's a metal container.
"Ships have an unfamiliar layout to crews. They can be very complex in their layout and this was a unique opportunity for all the crews to attend and to put these different skills into practice."
WC Pilbeam said the exercise had raised some good learning points.
“The inflatable boat from Dogsthorpe was not powerful enough for a tidal area. It was fine going with the tide but not against it. It had to be towed by the two boats from the Harbour Authority.
“Also, the crew set up lots of hose reels to help us out but we couldn’t use them because the couplings didn’t fit ours so we will be talking to the Harbour Master and our Operational Support Group to bring in some specialist hose reels for the harbour.”
He said communication with the nine-strong Russian crew on board the ship, had proved challenging.
“There were definitely language barriers that were an issue. We would ask what we wanted to get across and they would try and put across what they wanted. There were lots of hand signals and lots of pointing and gesturing.”
Despite some of the difficulties faced, he said the whole exercise, from time of call-out to when the crews returned to their stations, took three hours, which was what he had expected.
Harbour Master Jamie Hemming, of Fenland District Council, said with about forty cargo ships arriving at Wisbech Port each year there was a ‘real chance’ of a fire on board a ship so training exercises like this were really helpful.
“There’s a real chance of fire on board a ship. We are the only Port in Cambridgeshire so for Wisbech it is a serious scenario so from that point of view it was good to see the guys working on something a little bit out of their comfort zone.
“The joint exercise went extremely well and it was reassuring for us as a Harbour Authority to see the whole thing co-ordinated in such a professional and timely manner. It will stand us all in good stead should a similar real incident occur.”
Jamie said the Harbour Authority was keen to see more training exercises on board ships in the future.
“I would like to see another training exercise on board a ship at least once or twice a year as it’s a very proactive approach.”
The majority of boats coming into Wisbech arrive from the Baltics carrying timber and leave with scrap metal for Spain.

Baltimore Gas and Electric Company Restores Electric Service to More than 60 Percent of Customers; Utility exercising balanced approach to restoring service
Customers should continue to report outages and downed wires by calling 1-877-778-2222 - but should only report their outage once
Out-of-state utility workers from fifteen states and Canada are providing mutual assistance
BALTIMORE, July 2, 2012 – Baltimore Gas and Electric Company (BGE) today announced that
as of 7 a.m., it has restored service to 63 percent of its customers, or nearly 410,000, who lost power since Friday evening’s damaging weather system. BGE expects restoration activities to continue into the coming weekend.
More than 2,600 utility workers, including more than 1,400 BGE personnel and nearly 1,200 outof-
state utility workers, are either actively restoring power, or are en route to central Maryland. The out-of-state crews are coming from as far away as Canada (Quebec), New York, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Louisiana, Texas, Tennessee, Mississippi, Oklahoma, Michigan, Massachusetts, and Florida.
BGE’s sister utility, PECO, an Exelon Company based in Philadelphia, is also providing support to the company’s restoration effort. Customers are reminded to stay informed of restoration progress via bge.com, Twitter, Facebook and Flickr.
“While BGE and our out-of-state utility partners continue to make progress, it is important that our
customers, who we know are growing weary without power, understand we approach restoration in a balanced fashion to ensure field personnel are addressing outages in each and every county and city where BGE has customers,” said Jeannette M. Mills, vice president and chief customer officer for BGE. “BGE works very closely with state and local emergency management agencies and communicates with local and state elected officials to ensure they stay informed of BGE’s progress. BGE will spare no effort or expense in its round-the-clock restoration activities.”
BGE’s strategic plan for restoring electric service prioritizes outages affecting public safety and critical infrastructure in all parts of its service area, however, the backbone of the utility’s electric distribution system, its 33 kilovolt (kV) power lines, which supply power to substations, sustained significant damage. Those lines must be repaired or replaced before any of the equipment downstream can be repaired. As a result, outage durations have been extended for some customers. Given the scope and magnitude of the damage we’re seeing thus far, we fully anticipate restoration activities to extend into the coming weekend.
BGE’s system has sustained significant damage similar to what one would expect to see during a hurricane or tropical storm, including downed tree limbs and whole trees on power lines and other electric distribution equipment. At the same time, BGE is monitoring additional severe weather throughout the next several days which could result in further power outages.
“While there is no need for customers to report an outage more than once, customers who experience new outages or see downed wires should report them by calling 1-877-778-2222,” said Mills. “As important is the need for our customers to avoid downed power lines, which are still prevalent and can appear de-energized. In that instance, customers should call BGE to report the downed wire itself and stay clear of the wires. BGE thanks its customers for their patience and understanding.”
To date, BGE’s call center has already handled more than 764,000 calls and continues to operate at a heightened staffing level with more than 200 representatives actively engaged in storm response.
The company also continues to closely monitor its electric grid to maintain the reliable delivery of electric service while minimizing impacts on its customers, as this weekend brought consecutive days of extreme weather to central Maryland. BGE encourages all customers to prepare for power outages by visiting bge.com, where they will find information on preparing for storms, as well as information to help customers conserve energy and alleviate the impact of extreme temperatures on their energy bills.
As a reminder, BGE customers who may be elderly, handicapped or dependent on electricity for medical equipment, should always have alternate arrangements in place should they experience an extended power outage. Customers using a generator should follow manufacturer instructions and be sure to locate generators in well-ventilated areas. For more information about BGE storm preparation and how customers can protect their families and property, go to bge.com.
Just as BGE prepares for severe weather and the possibility of power outages, customers should take steps to ensure the safety of their families and property during electric service interruptions. Customers should keep the following items readily available:
Flashlights – not candles
Fresh batteries
Battery operated clock radio
Corded telephone
Fully charged cell phone
Non-perishable foods
Customers also should consider filling the fuel tanks of their vehicles in the event a power outage affects service to neighborhood gas stations. For customers who rely on well water, filling a bathtub with water in advance of severe weather is strongly encouraged.
In addition to monitoring current and approaching weather conditions which could result in service interruptions, BGE regularly conducts emergency training drills during which all aspects of storm related service restoration are tested. BGE also reviews its Electric Delivery Emergency Response Plan to ensure that storm response procedures are up-to-date and in line with industry standards.
BGE, headquartered in Baltimore, is Maryland’s largest gas and electric utility, delivering power to more than 1.2 million electric customers and more than 650,000 natural gas customers in central Maryland. The company’s approximately 3,400 employees are committed to the safe and reliable delivery of gas and electricity, as well as enhanced energy management, conservation, environmental stewardship and community assistance. BGE is a subsidiary of Exelon Corporation (NYSE: EXC), the nation’s leading competitive energy provider with approximately $33 billion in annual revenues.
