Fire on trawler in Skagen
A fire broke out in a technical room of the 'Bela Marie' and spread to the engine room and the wheelhouse at the Karstensen Shipyard in Skagen on Oct 9, 2026, at 3.30 a.m. The power on board went out, which triggered an alarm that woke the skipper, who lived on the ship. He tried to fight the fire himself, until the Skagen Fire Department, which was alerted at at 3.44 a.m., arrived and took over the extinguishing work. He was subsequently taken to Hjørring Hospital for observation. The firefighters responded with a fire truck and a tanker. After some time, the firefighters got the fire under control and were able to start a thorough extinguishing before leaving the shipyard. At around 06:30 a.m., smoke from insulation material again emerged on board, and the fire fighters had to return. This time, they quickly got control of the situation and were subsequently able to leave the scene again. The fire department highlighted the good cooperation with the colleagues from Ålbæk during the effort. The extent of the material damage had yet to be determined, and it was not clear what caused the fire. Report with photos: https://fiskerforum.dk/brand-vaerftet-skagen/
