On May 25, 2017, at 7.30 a.m. a fire broke out in the engine room of the "Zircone" in the Gulf of Riga, Latvia, shortly after leaving the port of Riga, bound for Skaw. The tanker was disabled and started to drift, tugs and CG patrol boats were sent to ship. A helicopter with thermal video equipment found high temperature in the superstructure.
