The 20 meter long fishing vessel Scombrus Junior caught fire while moored in Haugesund, Norway. The local fire brigade was called out to battle the blaze as there were no crew on board the fishing vessel.  A NSSR lifeboat arrived and help bring the fire under control. After several hours the fire was extinguished, but the Scombrus Junior had sustained a list to port before it sank in the harbor.  Booms were laid out to contain any pollution released from the Scombrus Junior’s fuel tanks. Reports state the vessel was a total loss.
