Understand that Boskalis will provide emergency response assistance for two ships that are currently on fire. The first fire is on board a car carrier near the Azores and a second vessel is a large ferry near the Greek island of Corfu. 

A team of sixteen experts from subsidiary SMIT Salvage was mobilized yesterday and is present on the Azores where the large car carrier Felicity Ace is currently on fire. The ship was en route from Germany to the United States when the fire broke out.
