Luxury yacht at Singapore’s Sentosa Cove marina catches fire; no reported injuries

“There are no reported injuries at the time of this post,” SCDF said at about 12.05pm.

In response to queries from The Straits Times, ONE°15 Marina Club’s management said smoke was detected from a vessel berthed at its premises at about 8am.

The on-site emergency response team was activated and the SCDF was called, the spokesman said.

“There are no reported injuries at this time, and we are working with the authorities to bring the situation under control,” he said.

In a reader’s photo shared with ST, thick black smoke can be seen billowing from the berthed vessel. Other boats nearby seem to be unaffected.

Reddit users also documented the fire and added that the fire was ongoing at around 9.15am.

According to CNA, the boat is identified as Eagle Wings III, a 33.8m superyacht.

The boat can cater to around 50 guests and boasts a dining area and jacuzzi, according to charter listings. It is also used for private and corporate events.

In 2018, 15 people were hospitalised, with two women and an infant sustaining injuries, after a similar incident took place at the club.

One of the women was reportedly in serious condition after the fire, while the infant suffered injuries to the face. – The Straits Times/ANN
