Fire in Werkendam
The 'Avélie' caught fire on the afternoon of Aug 5, 2026, in the Biesbosch Port North in Werkendam. The fire department was alerted at around 3:00 p.m. and responded with multiple vehicles. The crew, together with workmen, managed to intervene quickly. They sealed off the engine room and activated the onboard fire extinguishing system. As a result, the fire was already extinguished before the fire fighters entered the engine room. They checked the situation and found no remaining source of fire. Subsequently, the engine room was ventilated, using fans to remove the smoke. The carbon monoxide level was also measured. The engine room was only released once this had dropped sufficiently. The extent of the damage and the cause of the fire was yet unknown. No one was injured.
