Zk48 Jettie Martha
The 20 meter long fishing vessel Zk48 Jettie Martha caught fire off Ameland, Netherlands. The fire broke out in the vessel’s engine room. The crew closed off the engine room and requested assistance. The KNRM dispatched a lifeboat with a fire rescue team to their aid. The fire fighters were able to extinguish the blaze. A salvage tug arrived and took the Zk48 Jettie Martha under tow to Lauwersoog. No reports of injuries or pollution released. An inspection later found the fire had been started by a broken pipe.
