What Crew Members Say About Izar-Argia

On November 3, 2023, at 10:45 a.m., a significant fire erupted on the vessel 'Izar Argia' while it was docked at the Nodosa shipyard in Marín. Firefighters faced challenging conditions due to dense smoke that filled a cargo hold, hampering their efforts to control and extinguish the blaze. The Provincial Fire Consortium of Pontevedra promptly alerted teams from O Morrazo and Ribadumia (Vilagarcía park) to respond to the emergency. Additionally, local law enforcement, including the National Police, Local Police, and Civil Protection in Marín, were mobilized to the scene. Preliminary investigations suggest that the fire may have resulted from a welding spark igniting the insulation within the hold. Despite the visibility challenges caused by smoke accumulation, firefighters successfully identified and extinguished the source of the fire. Following containment efforts, they proceeded to ventilate the interior of the ship. For further details, access the full report with photos at the Faro de Vigo link.
