Luxury yacht damaged by fire

In the morning of Jan 17, 2021, an 8.5-metre boat caught fire after refuelling in Fort Lauderdale's Bahia Mar Marina. The fire erupted next to the US flagged luxury yacht ‘My W‘, 941 gt (IMO:1011903; CS: WDL6601; MMSI:368152290), causing damage to the yacht's hull. The Fort Lauderdale Fire Rescue were soon on the scene with 20 firefighters, and no one was reported injured as a result. The ‘My W‘ had recently completed a 10-month refit at Feadship and was redelivered to her owner following a successful handover trial on the North Sea. The flash fire caused only minimal damage to the Feadship yacht. No-one was hurt in the incident. The clear coat on the starboard bow was burnt by the flames. The repairs required to her hull will be carried out at the nearby Rybovich Superyacht Marina. Report with video: https://www.superyachttimes.com/yacht-news/yacht-w-fire
