Insulation caught fire on the Waal
Emergency services responded en masse on Nov 8, 2025, at 9 a.m. to a fire aboard the 'Silvia', enroute from Ochten to Mainz with a cargo of sand and soybeans, on the Waal River at Snelbinder near Nijmegen, directly beneath the railway bridge. Police, firefighters, and ambulance personnel were on standby on the Waalkade, while firefighters boarded the ship from a fire boat. The fire was quickly extinguished. A Rijkswaterstaat boat also attended, and a police helicopter hovered above the scene Ultimately, medical assistance was not necessary. Five crew members were on board, but no one was injured in the fire. It was unknown whether the 'Silvia' would be able to continue sailing under its own power. It turned out that insulation material had caught fire in the engine room near the exhaust system. TThe flames were extinguished one hour after the initial fire report. Around 10 .m., several firefighters were still on board the vessel. The fire department was checking the insulation material and expected this to take another hour.
