The 128 meter long, 5806 dwt cargo vessel Lintas Belawan caught fire off Masalembu, Indonesia. The fire started after a short circuit in one of the vessel’s generators in the engine room. The blaze quickly got out of control and spread through the entire superstructure. All 19 crew on board were able to escape to a rescue boat without injuries. Reports stated an Indonesian Coast Guard tug fought the fire, but no details to the extent of damage to the vessel.
