On the evening of February 3, the 18 meter long fishing vessel Musse SK961 (MMSI: 219028081) caught fire in the Kattegat 18 miles east of Skagen, Denmark. Authorities received an alert the vessel was on fire and launched a search and rescue operation. Both a rescue lifeboat and helicopter were deployed and arrived on scene to find the Musse unmanned and engulfed in flames. Fortunately, the one person on the Musse had already been rescued by a nearby vessel. The 16.5 meter long, 36 gt lifeboat Lars Kruse (IMO: 9217515) would later arrive on scene and use its fire fighting equipment to contain the blaze. The Musse would later drift into Swedish waters where Swedish rescue service took over fire fighting efforts. After many hours, the fire appeared to be extinguished.

While the fishing vessel was gutted by the fire, it was still afloat. Reports state the Musse was still afloat and towed back to Skagen where the fire reignited spewing out smoke. The fire fighters boarded the vessel and completely extinguish the blaze.  No reports of injuries.
