In a recent maritime incident, the Dutch cargo ship MV Myrte found itself adrift in the North Sea following a minor engine room fire, which disabled the vessel off the coast of Shetland's Fair Isle. The fire broke out on Tuesday afternoon, approximately 12 miles southeast of the island, leaving the ship without propulsion and with a crew of nine on board. Fortunately, the situation was resolved when the harbor tug MV Tystie, dispatched from Sullom Voe, successfully connected with the MV Myrte on Wednesday morning. The tug is currently towing the disabled vessel to Lerwick Harbour in Britain. The 7,100 DWT MV Myrte was en route from Invergordon to Lerwick, carrying a cargo of pipes intended for the oil industry when the unfortunate incident occurred. As per reports from BBC, this quick response ensured the safety of the crew and the vessel's eventual return to port.
