The Ding-Heng-38: Crew Feedback and Vessel Data

The disabled tanker, Straumen, is currently being towed by the tug BB Ocean, alongside an additional tug, towards a designated quay at Moldegård. Upon arrival in Molde, maritime engineers will assess the damage sustained by the vessel after a fire erupted in its engine room on April 20. While the crew managed to extinguish the fire swiftly, the incident left the Straumen incapacitated. At the time of the fire, the tanker had recently departed from Hustad Marmor in Fræna, heading for Elnesvågen. The upcoming evaluation will determine if repairs can be carried out on-site.

On the morning of April 20, 2012, the tanker 'Straum' experienced a significant incident when a fire broke out in its engine room while navigating between Hollings and Aukra, off the Aker Yards. The vessel was making its way out of Hustadmarmor in Fræna at the time of the fire. Fortunately, the crew managed to contain the blaze quickly, but the ship sustained damage that left it without power. Emergency response was prompt, with both a coastguard vessel and a rescue boat arriving to assist the disabled tanker. A tugboat was anticipated to reach the scene around 12:30 PM to tow the 'Straum' to safety at Moldegård.
