160 school children evacuated after smoke development
A harbour round trip organised by the Antwerp Port authority aboard the "Flandria 24" for 160 school children was suddenly interrupted due to smoke development aboard on June 24, 2014. The smoke was noticed when the ship was in the vicinity of the Wilmarsdonk Bridge. The captain decided immediately to dock the ship. The Antwerp firefighters had to evacuate children from the ship, but no one was injured. The cause of the incident turned out to be an overheated engine.
