The AND Adriyatik was a Turkish RoRo ship that came in February 2008, in the Adriatic Sea off the coast of Croatia on fire.
History
The ship was built under the hull number 714 as one of two identical RoRo vessels for the Turkish company UN Ro -Ro Isletmeleri in Istanbul at the Flensburg shipbuilding company and delivered on 21 September 2001 to the owner.
Fire
The ship came on 6 February 2008 on the journey from Pendik in Istanbul to Trieste in Croatian territorial waters on fire. Some 200 trucks and 9 t dangerous goods ( including 2 t matches and 6 t lubricants) were on board the 193 m long ship and approximately 1,000 t ship fuel, can arise from the risks to the environment.
The Croatian Ministry of Transport reported that the ship had fallen into the Adriatic Sea 13 nautical miles west of the city of Rovinj in the early hours of 6 February 2008, just outside the newly established Croatian marine protected area on fire. An emergency call was issued to 04:04 clock local time. A spokesman said that Croatian fire-fighting planes and boats attempted to extinguish the fire, but was not to save the ship. As the fire broke out inside the ship, deleting from the outside would be very difficult.
The 22 crew members and nine passengers who were aboard the ship were rescued by the Greek ferry Ikarus Palace, which was on the way to Venice. Four of the crew members had 1st and 2nd degree burns suffered.
It was feared that currents could sink the ship or drive the ship on the Croatian coast. A spokesman for the fire brigade said that two tugs would sprinkle the ship throughout the night with water to lower the temperature. To the ship oil barriers have been applied, but it came out of no oil.
On the morning of 7 February, the still burning ship was about 8 km south- west of the island of Brijuni, a national park. The fire was under control by the Croatian Information and danger to the environment no longer existed. Dutch specialists for fire fighting ( Smit International ) arrived at the lake, but were not able to go on board. The firefighters, who were, inter alia, made famous K -141 Kursk for their role in the rescue of the Russian nuclear submarine, had been commissioned by the vessel owner.
The ship was first towed to Trieste. After plans had failed for a reconstruction, the ship was towed in the summer of 2010 after Aliaga / Turkey for scrapping.
