Fire on Stolt-Nielsen Barge At Uerdingen Stolt-Nielsen Transportation Group Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Stolt-Nielsen S.A. reports that during the early morning of November 21, the crew of the SNTG Motor Tank Barge, Stolt Rotterdam discharging nitric acid at Bayer Uerdingen near Cologne on the River Rhine noticed fumes coming from the double bottom of the barge. The local authorities and fire department were alerted immediately. Subsequently, the captain and crew coordinated their emergency response with shore personnel and the emergency authorities — there were no reports of injuries to any personnel or persons in the vicinity. The crew was evacuated as a result of an engine room fire caused by nitric acid leaking from one of the ship's tanks con- taining 270 cu. m. of product. As a safe- ty measure, the barge was lowered to the river bottom. The ship was loaded with 1,352 cu. m. of nitric acid.
