I suspect the fire just burnt out rather than being extinguished by the tiny amount of water being hosed in the video. I've never seen it leave the marina in years. How many years?

Are you suggesting that ex-US coastguard vessels and ex-rig supply vessels can't be British-owned, Canadian-captained or sail from Malaysia? Link to post Share on other sites
