Many thanks Peladinho,

Yes, the first was GIJON, the second SOZIDANIE and the third HERCULES

To add to your discussion about all these fires.

The owners of Hercules (Thor Fisheries) were asked by media, if there had been a previous fire on Hercules. The owner said no, but there had been a fire on Poseidon 2 or 3 years back.
Thor Fisheries is the owner of Poseidon.

An inquest will be held in Valparaiso, Chile today.
Tugs are standing by at Hercules. The fire is out.

The hull of Hercules will be checked for weaknes before they trye to tow it.  
   
And thanks for posting the picture of the burned out sister ship.

A sister ship of this vessel, Athena, also owned by Thor Fisheries has caught fire on Wednseday while fishing off Chile. I think that the fire has been stopped, but does anyone have more information on this?

According to the Danish maritime weekly SOEFART, 29 June, 2007, the reason for the fire might have been found.
The Danish Maritime Authorities, assisted by the police and "fire technical expertise" have found defects in the fluorescent tubes on sister vessel POSEIDON. A few months ago both ships had new tubes installed of identical type as in the hold of HERCULES in which the fire (in cardboard packing) started. Tests have revealed that the tubes overheated due to "light arcs" in the sockets.
A warning has been issued regarding this type of tubes: "ADVANCE model Centium 1CN-2P32-SC, Instart - start Electronic Ballast".

Hi Spotti
The fire on Athena was preventet from spreading. Nobody was injured.

Just a few a the crew remain onboard. The rest of the crew went onboard another sister ship called Poseidon.

Athena headed for Chile by own power, but a Chilean tug was on the way.

Athena will arrive at Talcahuano, Chile. Allready in Talcahuano is the burned out sister ship Hercules.

Hercules will be repaired.

Link to Chilean navy site - sorry in Spanish.
You can search for the Athena incident on the site.
