Fire in engine room
On April 4, 2026, at approximately 9:25 a.m., the 'Impulss' reported a fire in the engine room via the internationally standardized VHF radio distress and calling channel 16. The vessel, with ten people on board, was located near the "Baltic 2" offshore wind farm, east of the Danish island of Møn and northwest of the German island of Rügen. The MRCC Bremen coordinated the responde. The lifeboat ' Harro Koebke' from the DGzRS station in Sassnitz, the nearby German Federal Police patrol vessel "Neustadt," and another wind farm vessel also in the area immediately set out to reach the vessel. To provide aerial support, a Danish SAR helicopter, a German SAR helicopter from the German Navy Air Service, and a German offshore rescue helicopter from NHC Northern Helicopter were dispatched. Meanwhile, the crew of the crew tender established a watertight seal. Using onboard resources, the crew managed to bring the fire in the engine room under control. The vessel remained maneuverable thanks to its second helicopter. All ten people on board were safe. Escorted by the "Neustadt," the CTV set course for the port of Klintholm. The lifeboat and the three helicopters were released from the operation. The MRCC Bremen transferred the coordination of further measures to the JRCC Karup. The 'Impulse' safely berthed in the port of Klintholm at approximately 1 p.m., where it remained stationary as of April 16.
