Eems-Dundee

10 people have been hospitalized for smoke poisoning after a fire on the "Eems Dundee" at the Taurus Quay in Esbjerg in the morning of July 6, 2018. Several helicopters were called to the scene. The victims were flown to the hospitals in Esbjerg, Kolding and Aabenraa, in order not to overload the hospital in Esbjerg. The fire broke out when wind turbines had to be welded in the cargo compartment before the transport to Uddevalla. The ship was being loaded with so-called nacelles for wind turbines, and the big "heads" on the wind turbines should be welded to the deck so that they could not move during transport. The Sydvestjysk Fire Department quickly gained control of the fire, which developed fierce smoke. the ship left the port again on July 14 at 6.40 p.m. and headed to Harlingen, where she arrived on July 15 and berthed at the Damen Shiprepair Yard at 8 p.m. It sailed again on Aug 1 at 7.50 p.m. and headed to Emden, where it arrived on Aug 2 at 10.20 a.m. Danish reports with photos and video: https://www.jv.dk/esbjerg/Skibsbrand-slukket-10-personer-koert-paa-sygehus-til-observation-for-roegforgiftning/artikel/2625773 https://maritimedanmark.dk/?Id=38813
