The Les-Alizes: Crew Feedback and Vessel Data

A significant incident unfolded on January 23, 2025, as the 'Les Alizés', a vessel docked at the Wagenborg Terminal in Eemshaven, became engulfed in flames. The fire ignited in a technical compartment aboard the ship, primarily involving the onboard batteries. The crew swiftly initiated firefighting measures; however, they quickly encountered challenges as the batteries posed a serious hazard that could not be extinguished by standard methods. To mitigate the risk of the situation worsening, the local fire brigade collaborated with the crew to safely disconnect and remove the batteries from the ship. The hazardous batteries were carefully submerged in water basins located on the quay to significantly reduce the potential for rekindling. This critical intervention was instrumental in managing the blaze and ensuring the safety of personnel and the surrounding area.
