Fire on crew boat off Norderney
On Oct 31, 2015, at 3.20 a.m. an engine room fire broke out aboard the "Beaumaris Bay" off Norderney. The ship was on duty for Dong Energy’s 312MW Borkum Riffgrund 1 offshore wind farm. The crew activated an automatic alert on which the MRCC Bremen immediately responded. Also the lifeboat "Bernhard Gruben" was alerted by the mayday call of the master on VHF, and headed towards the crew boat which was lying off the North beach of Norderney near the Dove Deep fairway between Juist and Norderney then. It had on board 12 passengers and a crew of two which started to tackle the blaze with own means. On scene were southern winds of up to 4 Beaufort. The lifeboat arrived at the ship 12 minutes after the alert. The fire in one of the two engine rooms was under control at that time. The "Bernhard Gruben" escorted the "Beaumaris Bay" to Norddeich where both ships arrived at 4 a.m. At 5.15 a.m. the lifeboat was back at its station Norderney.
