The 34.2-metre Custom Line motor yacht Eagle Wings 3 has been destroyed following a fire in ONE°15 Marina, Sentosa Cove, Singapore.
The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) was alerted to the fire at approximately 8.10am yesterday (7 June), when onlookers noticed thick smoke rising from the vessel. Upon arrival, the SCDF found Eagle Wings 3 "fully engulfed" in fire, with land-based firefighters deploying a water jet from the nearby pontoon to battle the growing flames.
In an online post shared by SCDF, the force described how the yacht began drifting away from the pontoon during their initial firefighting efforts, after which an SCDF Marine Vessel was deployed for support. Two water jets and one water monitor tackled the blaze.
Imagery shared online by onlookers shows the extent of the fire, which appears to have spread across the yacht from the top decks down to the waterline.
According to local reports, the destroyed hull of Eagle Wings 3 had submerged underwater by 1.40pm, with oil booms placed around the site of the incident. The cause of the fire is currently unknown. There have been no reported injuries.
Eagle Wings 3 was delivered in 2005 from Custom Line's 112 yacht model, designed throughout by Zuccon International Project with accommodation for up to 10 guests in five cabins. She was constructed in GRP, with naval architecture by CRN.
