On November 22, 2021, a devastating fire erupted in the engine room of the tanker 'Cemical Master' while it was making its way from Haifa to Amsterdam across the North Atlantic Ocean. The incident resulted in two crew members suffering severe injuries and requiring immediate evacuation. A helicopter dispatched by the Portugal Air Force rescued them, but despite being swiftly taken to a hospital, their injuries proved fatal. Following the fire, the tanker became adrift off the coast of Portugal, with two Portuguese Navy vessels positioned nearby for assistance. By November 24, the situation improved as the 'Cemical Master' was successfully taken under tow by the tug 'Portugs Sines' (IMO: 8513754), heading towards Lisbon with an estimated time of arrival on the same day.
