SDN praises emergency services

28.09.2023
VAREL-DANGAST. The German North Sea Coastal Protection Association (SDN) praised the cautious actions of the emergency services after a fire broke out aboard the car carrier “Fremantle Highway” off the coast of West Frisia in late July. “We would like to sincerely thank the Netherlands Coastguard and German Central Command for Maritime Emergencies (CCME) for their rapid and cross-border assistance in averting a major environmental disaster. This also included the emergency tug Nordic,” said Gerd-Christian Wagner, SDN chairman. The carrier has now been towed to the Port of Eemshaven for salvage.
