PHUKET:-- A tour boat under repairs went up in flames at a shipyard in Rassada on the east side of Phuket Town today (Aug 6), with the fire gutting the boat, causing an estimated B4-5 million in damage.

 

Phuket City Police and emergency services were notified of the fire, at the Asian Phuket Marine and Dockyard in Rassada, near the entrance to the Saphan Pla Pier on the east side of Phuket Town, at 1:30pm.

 

Firefighters on four fire trucks arrived at the scene to be confronted with dark smoke billowing out of the boat, which was on the hardstand undergoing repairs.

After questioning people at the scene, police at this stage believe the fire was started by sparks from cutting iron falling onto a “sofa”.

It was probably one of the boats deemed to be unsafe during last week’s inspection.  Better to collect insurance money than fix the boat.

I'm sure the insurance company will investigate a lot more than the cops...

Failed the new inspection, cost too much to pass?

 Insurers will definitely try the 'pre-existing damage' excuse

 

 

especially if there is nothing left to prove otherwise!
