Luxury yacht gutted by fire
The "Lady D" suffered major damage in a fire which broke out in the Thalang district of Phuket on Aug 7, 2019. She was moored at the far end of the Ao Por Grand Marina pier, making fire fighting efforts difficult. A crew member had in vain to put out the flames using an extinguisher. The fire which started at the stern of the yacht and quickly spread to the upper decks and engulfed the yacht which had to be cut loose and set adrift to prevent the blaze spreading to nearby vessels at the pier. Five fire engines were sent to tackle the blaze. The yacht recently had arrived from Langkawi in Malaysia. . Pontoons were thrown around the yacht to contain any fuel spillage and to keep people away in case of a possible explosion. The authorities planned to tow the yacht to the nearby uninhabited island of Koh Nang in the afternoon for safety reasons.
