The Netherlands Coastguard is attempting to secure a tow to the hull of a K Line-operated car carrier before it is overcome by a raging fire in the North Sea.
The 10,876-bhp Guardian (built 2013), a high-powered offshore supply vessel owned by Multraship Towage & Salvage, has been brought in to secure a line to the 6,220-ceu Fremantle Highway (built 2013), which is in danger of sinking.
