Fire onboard Ghost Ship
[ 08.02.2010 ]
AN investigation is under way after a major fire on one of the controversial “ghost ships”.
Plumes of smoke were seen billowing from the former French naval vessel, the Clemenceau, which is being dismantled by Able UK, in Seal Sands, near Hartlepool.
More than 50 firefighters spent nearly two hours bringing the fire under control, which started at about 9.20am Friday.
Environmental campaigners had battled to prevent the ship from being dismantled in the region because of fears of asbestos and other toxins on board.
The vessel had been denied entry into a number of countries for safety reasons, but the UK’s Health and Safety Executive granted Able an exemption to the asbestos regulations permit.
It is one of a number of socalled ghost ships, being dismantled near Hartlepool.
The fire is believed to have been contained in one of the compartments below the deck of the disused aircraft carrier, which is now known as Q790.
This follows last week's news of Able UK receiving £470,000 from Hartlepool Borough Council after Able UK appealed against the decision to reject planning applications to extend the use of its Graythorp yard in 2006.
