Fire in engine room

On the morning of May 18, 2025, a fire broke out aboard the 'Scot Stuttgart', which was moored at Puerto Nuevo Channel’s N Wharf. in Puerto Rico. At 3:43 a.m., Sector San Juan watchstanders received an initial notification of the incident reporting a port generator fire in the vessel’s engine room. The crew used the ship’s installed fire suppression system to extinguish the fire. At approximately 5:55 a.m., dense black smoke was reportedly observed in the same engine room. Suspecting the fire had reignited and as a precaution, the crew isolated the space, and the vessel’s installed fire suppression system was used for a second time. Following the second attempt, responding local firefighters confirmed the fire was successfully extinguished. The US Coast Guard Sector San Juan marine investigators and vessel inspection teams were investigating the fire. There were currently no reports of marine pollution or reported injuries.
