Fire in batteries under control
A major fire broke out on the afternoon of Jan 23, 2025, on board the 'Les Alizés', which was moored at the Wagenborg Terminal in Eemshaven. The fire, which started in a technical room on the ship, could be brought under control. The fire started in batteries that were on board the ship. The crew members immediately started extinguishing work, but soon discovered that the batteries could not be extinguished. To prevent further escalation, in collaboration with the crew, the fire brigade disconnected the batteries and removed them from the ship. The batteries were submerged in water basins on the quay to minimize the chance of re-ignition. This process was a crucial part of the extinguishing operation.
