Barge fire during welding work
On Sep 28, 2015, a fire broke out aboard the "Arowi", 533 ts (ENI-No.: 02103447), which was being overhauled on a slip in Hendrik-Ido-Ambacht. The fire started in a cofferdam between the cargo area and the engine room during welding works. The fire brigade Hendrik-Ido-Ambacht rushed to the spot and called as a precaution also the firefighters from Alblasserdam. The fire was quickly brought under control. The fire department ventilated the barge. Dutch report with photos: http://www.zhzactueel.nl/2015/09/28/brand-op-binnenvaartschip-door-laswerkzaamheden/#prettyPhoto
