A fire broke out in the engine room of the German-flagged oil tanker Annika, prompting a swift rescue of all seven crew members, who sustained minor injuries.
German authorities confirmed that the crew was rescued after a boarding rescue boat arrived about an hour later despite the ship carrying 640 metric tons of oil.
Firefighters assessed the situation aboard the Annika in the afternoon, leading to the decision to tow it to Rostock for further firefighting measures.
The incident occurred near Kuehlungsborn and Warnemuende, highlighting the importance of maritime safety measures in managing emergency situations at sea.
