The vessel was located 265 nautical miles (NM) southwest of Adak, Alaska, outside of the U.S. exclusive economic zone (EEZ). The crew abandoned ship after failing to extinguish the fire and were transferred to nearby merchant vessels that responded. No injuries were reported. Smoke and flames were observed 6/03-6/13/2025.
