    According to some dutch news sites there seems to be a huge fire onboard a pipelaying vessel. The vessel seems to be alongside near the Professor Gerbrandyweg in Rozenburg. At this address is the Verolme shipyard.

    Looking at the AIS this pipelaying vessel is the Lorelay of Allseas. Some fire fighting boats of the port authorities can be seen nearby.

    The fire was in a switchboard room of the Lorelay. No people were injured because of this fire.
    Fire fighting boats were used for cooling the deck and hull of the vessel.
    After appr. 1 hour the fire was under control.

    Year back I did a trip on the Lorelay. She’s quite old now but a pretty impressive boat non the less.
