Fire on two ships in Asttrakhan
On Nov 24, 2019, at 2.30 a.m. a fire broke out aboard the Russian ferry 'Sprinter' (238 gt, built 1991), which was moored close to the shipyard at the port of Astrakhan. Local firefighters and the Russian diving support vessel 'Stolniy Grad Yaroslavl' arrived on the scene 30 minutes later. By this time, the strong fire had already spread from the 'Sprinter' to the 'Forward' which was moored nearby. The fire on both the vessels was completely extinguished by 0440 a.m. There were no casualties and no pollution. A damage assessment survey of the vessels was being conducted and an investigation into the cause of fire was underway.
