Northsea platform evacuated after fire on offshore vessel
In the North Sea the oil platform Lomond has been partially evacuated after the "Edda Frende" caught fire 12 miles from the installation on Dec 12, 2014 at 6 a.m. Around 150 workers were taken off the platform and taken to the Borgholm Dolphin flotel as it was feared the vessel, which was under contract to Shell, would collide with the BG Group-operated rig. The fire in the ship's engine room was quickly extinguished and the situation under control. The "Edda Frende" was later taken in tow and was being taken to Aberdeen for repairs. There were no injuries to the 14 crew members. The ship was on its way from Aberdeen to the oilfield on British sector.
