Tanker Kokuka Courageous from German Schulte Reederei seems to be on fire, the ship is evacuated One of the 21 crew memeber has a small injury. The rest is ok.
                                                             

the other tanker is from Frontline.

It seems they were attacked by torpedos.

I'm far away from the sea to Hamburg I have a longer distance as to Venice or Genova. My favorite is the Suez Canal, Panama Canal and since 2006 also Chinese harbours.
