💨 Abstract

A Dutch safety watchdog has urged improvements in emergency protocols for North Sea shipping routes following a deadly fire on the Fremantle Highway freighter in July 2023. The fire, which killed one and injured six, highlighted issues in rescue operations and information sharing among emergency services. The report recommends better coordination and preparedness for future incidents. The cause of the fire is still under investigation by Panamanian maritime authorities.
