The 106 meter long, 5780 dwt cargo vessel Ventura caught fire while entering the lock at Kiel, Germany. The crew had noticed there was an elevated temperature in the hold containing beet pulp.  Local firefighters were contacted and the Ventura was directed to a nearby quay. At the quay, part of the cargo was offloaded while  firefighters extinguished the embers. No reports of injuries or pollution released.
