On the evening of August 7, the 137 meter long, 13340 dwt cargo vessel Tali (IMO: 9173692) caught fire in the North Sea northwest of Feistein Fyr, Norway. The Tali was headed for Tau from Cuxhaven in ballast when a fire broke out in the engine room. The vessel alerted Norwegian authorities who dispatched a team of fire fighters from Sola to assist the crew. Fire fighters arrived on the vessel an hour later to find the situation under control.  The crew had triggered the onboard fire suppression system and closed off the engine room.  However, the fire damage was extensive requiring the Tali to request a tow.  The tugs Boa Balder (IMO: 9462342) and BB Coaster (IMO: 9502685) arrived early the next day and took the Tali under tow to Stavanger. Authorities have not stated the cause of the fire. One of the 14 crew members on board suffered smoke inhalation and was flown back ashore for treatment.

On the late night of August 3, the 110 meter long self-propelled barge Triangle (MMSI: 244710133) caught fire on theMarkermeer near Oostvaardersdijk, Lelystad, Netherlands.
