The Scot-Stuttgart: Crew Feedback and Vessel Data

In a remarkable incident on May 18, 2025, the crew of the 'Scot Stuttgart' effectively managed a fire outbreak in the vessel's engine room while docked at the N Wharf of Puerto Nuevo Channel, Puerto Rico. The alarm was raised at 3:43 a.m. when Sector San Juan watchstanders received the first report of a port generator fire. Thanks to the quick actions of the crew, the onboard fire suppression system was deployed triumphantly to tackle the flames. However, at approximately 5:55 a.m., thick black smoke started to emerge from the engine room once again, raising concerns about the possibility of the fire reigniting. In a precautionary measure, the crew swiftly isolated the affected area and activated the fire suppression system for a second time. Local firefighters who responded later confirmed the successful extinguishment of the blaze. Currently, the US Coast Guard Sector San Juan's marine investigators and vessel inspection teams are conducting a thorough examination of the incident. Fortunately, there have been no reports of injuries or marine pollution linked to the fire.
