72.On 25 August 1994, SALLY STAR, a Bahamian Registered Ro-Ro passenger ferry was en
route to Ramsgate from Dunkirk and in a position about 6.5 miles east of Ramsgate when fire
broke out in the main engine room. The fire was caused by the failure of a bolted flange joint on
the low pressure fuel system to No 4 main engine, allowing flammable fuel oil vapour to come
into contact with part of the engine exhaust system. Initial attempts to extinguish the fire were
unsuccessful, mainly due to failure of the auxiliary generators and the emergency fire pump and
despite the injection of Kalongs into the space. However, the closure of the engine room
ventilation and fuel oil systems effectively starved the fire of fuel and oxygen. The fire was finally
reported as extinguished about three hours from the onset of the emergency. The incident
required the co-ordinating role of HM Coastguard Dover, off-shore fire fighting teams from Kent
Fire Brigade, RAF and HM Coastguard helicopters. A total of 85 non-essential crew and 17
passengers were transferred ashore by RNLI lifeboats based at Ramsgate and Margate. Tugs

261.A coaster was on a journey in a fjord. Early in the morning, when the ship was to change
course, she collided with a small lighthouse. The reason why the collision took place is
unknown. The foundation of the lighthouse was circular with a flat top just underneath the water
surface. Its diameter was bigger than the diameter of the lighthouse itself, situated right on top
of the foundation. This construction causes a rather sharp outer edge, which could easily rip a
ship's hull. This was what happened - the ship's hull was ripped open and she sank within
minutes. Two persons on the bridge died. Two other crew members survived although they
could not reach the survival suits which were kept under port bridge wing as the ship
immediately listed to port and put them out of reach. One of the survivors managed to launch
the starboard life raft. Another crew member was down in the mess room and threw out a
couple of life jackets. He did not manage to get out of the mess room. The investigation found
that the hydrostatic releases to the rafts had not been properly mounted. If the starboard side
raft had not been launched manually, no raft would have been released.
