On December 20, the tanker 'Stella Lyra' experienced a fire that inflicted considerable damage to its control room and nearby compartments. Thankfully, all 12 crew members and the Norwegian pilot aboard were unharmed during the incident. The blaze was successfully extinguished by 10:04 a.m., but the vessel remained anchored approximately two kilometers from the Mosjøen pier, where it has been since the onset of the fire. Following the outbreak, the ship encountered a blackout after the flames ignited in the control room. Initial response came from the ferry 'Alstein', which was quickly joined by pilot boat 106, staying on standby for several hours. Subsequently, the tugs 'Nautilus Balder' (IMO: 8406157) and 'Nautilus Aldra' (IMO: 7409877) were dispatched to assist in towing the incapacitated 'Stella Lyra' back to the wharf in Mosjøen. Following the vessel's arrival, the Sjøfartsdirektoratet will undertake an inquiry to assess the extent of the damage and outline the subsequent steps.
