System malfunction triggered smoke development
On Aug 25, 2026, at around 10.15 p.m., the fire department deployed multiple units in response to a possible fire on board the 'Carinalexander' in the Botlek/Rotterdam. The ship had docked in the Geulhaven, enroute from Amsterdam, when white smoke was observed coming from the funnel for an extended period. It was suspected that a fire might be burning in the engine room. As the ship was difficult for firefighters to access from the quay, Port Authority personnel proceeded to the vessel on an RPA patrol boat. They conducted an initial assessment and determined that there was no fire. A system malfunction during the engine start-up process was thought have caused the smoke emission. The Oude Maas Way was temporarily closed to traffic due to the emergency response operation. Report with photos: https://westlanders.nu/nieuws/brandmelding-in-machinekamer-van-schip/
