What Crew Members Say About Eos

On June 30, 2012, the exquisite luxury yacht 'Eos' was engulfed in flames while situated in the picturesque Oslo Fjord near Sjursøya. The Oslo Fire and Rescue services swiftly responded after receiving an emergency call at 3:15 PM, deploying 15 firefighters alongside other emergency personnel to manage the crisis. The yacht was specifically positioned between Malmøya and Sjursøya, presenting challenges for the fire brigade due to limited access. To combat the blaze more effectively, authorities decided to tow the vessel closer to shore. By 8:15 PM, officials announced that the fire had been brought under control and was nearly extinguished. The incident, however, left the upper structure of the 'Eos' significantly damaged, although the damage below deck was relatively minor. Fortunately, the 18 individuals on board were evacuated safely at the onset of the fire, and there were no reported injuries. The crew was poised to resume responsibility of the yacht once the firefighters concluded their work, and initial assessments suggested that the vessel remained seaworthy. While investigations into the cause of the fire were still underway, the incident marked a dramatic event in the Oslo Fjord area.
