Fire off Gothenburg
After fire broke out in the engine room of the 'Seacon Oceania', ballasting from Gdansk to Narvik with 21 crew members on board, the ship was anchored in pos. 57° 34' N 011° 40' E off Vinga island, a short distance west of Gothenburg's southern archipelago, on Oct 1, 2026, at 9:35 p.m. The Swedish Maritime Administration coordinated the response and sent out a large number of resources. The Coast Guard vessels 'KBV 001' and 'KBV 316', the Pilot Boat 222, the SSRS (Swedish Sea Rescue Society) stations at Hovås and Rörö, the ambulance boat 'Rescuer', the marine police, and commercial maritime vessels were dispatched to the scene. Additionally, the emergency services' MIRG (Maritime Incident Response Group) teams were alerted. Also a Danish ambulance boat were on scene at 11 p.m. Since the Swedish Maritime Administration’s Gothenburg-based SAR helicopter was engaged in a medical evacuation on another vessel, the Gothenburg MIRG team prepared to deploy to the scene by boat. Upon arrival, a person aboard the 'KBV 001' was designated OSC (On-Scene Coordinator) and began coordinating the numerous resources in close cooperation with the rescue leader at the JRCC. Liaison officers from the Coast Guard command center and the RSG Gothenburg emergency services were co-located with the JRCC staff. The JRCC established contact with the vessel, confirming that no crew members were missing or injured. The crew had evacuated the engine room and closed it, activated the ship's own extinguishing systems and cooled the engine room side with water. This meant that the rescue services did not have to carry out any extinguishing efforts. As boarding the vessel posed too great a risk, the decision was made to wait until the SAR helicopter could deploy representatives from the Coast Guard and the Maritime Incident Response Group (MIRG) onto the ship. They only checked that the fire was completely under control. As the situation remained stable; consequently, the resources mobilised for SAR purposes were stood down following the inspection on board. The operation ended on Oct 2 at 1.45 a.m. While the cause of the fire was unknown, according to the police there were no suspicions of crime. Follow-up work was carried out by the shipping company, the Coast Guard, and the Swedish Transport Agency, among others.
