One person suffered injuries after a fire ignited on a ferry while it was berthed at the Port of Rostock in Germany on the morning (local time) of Friday, May 8.
The incident on the Cyprus-registered Tom Sawyer, a Ro-Pax ferry operated by local shipping company TT-Line, occurred when heat from the vessel’s internal machinery caused oil that had leaked from a just opened tank to ignite.
An employee working for a subcontractor suffered injuries as the blaze began to spread to other portions of the engine room and beyond.
