Fire in port of Las Palmas

The Port of Las Palmas has registered two incidents within four hours in the morning of Dec 27, 2016. The 24-m- f/v “Alexandra”, which had been towed into port by two other vessels, sank between 7 am and 7:15 p.m. at the Cory Wharf, where abandoned ships are concentrated. The ship was empty of fuel, but as a precaution oil booms were laid out to contain residuel oil or wood chips. A few hours later the Korean trawler “Apsari 3”, 348 gt (IMO: 7051204) caught fire during some work which was carried out by the company Logiscrap, which was dismantling it. The fire brigade and tugs of Salvamento and the port were busy to douse the flames.
