One person died and several others were wounded after a large fire broke out on a cargo ship in the North Sea off the Netherlands, the Dutch coast guard said.
Rescue boats and helicopters were used to get the 23 crew members off the ship after some had jumped in the water, a spokesperson for the Dutch coast guard told CNN on Wednesday. Pictures taken from the shore show gray smoke emitting from the ship in the distance. “The recovery vessel Hunter has an emergency connection to the ship and is holding the ship in a controlled position. Multiple parties are working on an action plan to limit the damage as much as possible,” the tweet said.
Around midnight local time on Wednesday, the Coast Guard received a report from the ship signaling a fire on board while the vessel was sailing 27 kilometers north of Ameland – an island off the Northern tip of the Netherlands. The crew tried to extinguish the fire themselves but were unsuccessful, according to the coast guard. As the fire continued to spread, several crew members jumped overboard. “The people had to get off,” skipper Willard Molenaar from the Ameland rescue ship told NOS.
