The crew of the NRP Dragão ship, which was at the Vila Real de Santo António commercial pier yesterday afternoon, detected a fire onboard a vessel moored nearby, at the same pier.
Emergency services were alerted, but the navy crew managed to extinguish the fire at an early stage, before firefighters from Vila Real de Santo António and Castro Marim arrived.
The NRP Dragão is commanded by second lieutenant Ana Torres, with a garrison of 8 crew, and is in commission in the Southern Maritime Zone.
