Just before 1 pm on Tuesday, January 14, 2014, while en route to service a windfarm, the work boat ECC Topaz caught fire in the North Sea, approximately 10 nautical miles East of the town of Lowestoft, Suffolk.

The fuel and oil on board were believed to have burnt off during the blaze before the vessel went under.
