Ferry used for fire fighting purpose
On June 23, 2011, a fire truck was carried aboard the Hempont-ferry to the "Caria" in the Noordzeekanal. IA fire had broken out in a generator in the bow of the ship while it was berthed at pontoons in the middle of Side Canal H. The firemen could not reach the ship from the shore. The Hempont solved the problem, and also a fire fighting boat was on scene. The crew of "Caria", the captain and a deckhand, were saved by a passing boat from the port authority. The fire was under control within one hour.
