Dredger to be broken up following fire in April
The "Kronborg R", which was sidelined in Georgetown since Apr 15, 2016, following an engine failure and subsequent fire, will be broken up. Early in April the sand pump had failed while the dredger was in the process of maintaining a navigation channel into a bulk terminal in Niuewe Amsterdam in Guyana. Short time later a fire broke out in the ship's main electrical panel in the engine room, disabling the main engine - an MaK diesel. The fire was extinguished, but managed to spread to other areas of the ship. When the fire was extinguished and the damage could be investigated, it became clear in cooperation with the ship's insurers, that the ship was a Constructive Total Loss. The "Kronborg R" was soon after towed to Georgetown and put up for sale.
