Reviews & Ratings for the Marry-s

A fire broke out in the hold of the 'Marry S' on the early morning of Jan 12, 2026, at the Damen Shiprepair at the Lange Lijnbaan in Harlingen. Thanks to a quick extinguishing attempt, the spread of the fire could be prevented by the the fire department, which responded with heavy equipment. The fire caused considerable smoke. The ship's hatches were closed. The emergency services were hampered by the weather condition with the roads in Friesland being extremely slippery. The first units have returned to the station after the fire was under control at around 2 a.m. There have been no reports of injuries. The ventilation of the warehouse was then initiated to remove the smoke. The fire was likely caused by a short circuit in a cable, which ignited several cleaning cloths. Because these cloths were wet, a large amount of smoke was released. The damage remained limited. The ship, which had arrived in Harlingen on Dec 17, 2025, for maintenance, was scheduled to return to service at the end of January.
