Title: Small Tanker fire.
Post by: farrow on August 13, 2008, 09:27:59 pm

Some more pics of a ship in trouble I found in those photo's I was given on board last. It appears to be a small products carrier with a fire in No 1 tank, looking it at the tanker it looks familiar but at the moment I cannot remember her, but you can see the damage done by a fire and possibly an explosion caused by the fire.

Many thanks DaveTait, as I said I was given a bunch of photos and I do not really know the story behind the pics, so it is good when some one can flesh up the story behind. I have loads yet of tugs working to sort out yet, so hopefully there will be more to come.
