The 80 meter long self-propelled tanker-barge Bitumina 3 caught fire while berthed at a shipyard at Mülheim, Germany. Local fire brigades from Cologne were alerted as smoke was spotted coming from the vessel. A search of the vessel found some insulation material had caught fire between two tanks. The fire was quickly extinguished.  No reports of injuries, damage or pollution released.
