I think the workers are gonna be fine. Germany has very thorough worker protections laws.

1)I'm positive Germany has manufacturing and occupational safety regulations regarding fires in factories. And inspectors to guarantee compliance. 2)Electrical conduit between hazzardous types of construction and occupancy should be fire stopped with fire resistant: foam, sealant or solid blocking. Unless the occupancy is accessory (very small) and both occupancies are rated higher resistive construction.
That building had to have numerous fire prevention systems including sprinklers. The German authorities are pretty good investors and they will produce a report. Electrical fires are tough, and an industrial such as this are should have very strict fire regulations. You can bet the German equivalent of Fire Marshals and investigators from all of the insurance companies will be flocking to the site.

This is not the first fire this year inside a building at a Luressen shipyard. This clearly tells me that there is a systematic workplace safety at Luressen. Furthermore if I were the president/ceo at Luressen the shipyard manager, as well as the shift manager and the team of workers who for whatever reason that was involved with the starting of that fire would be immediately terminated with cause. Additionally whoever is in charge of the onsite firefighting personnel at that shipyard best have a dam good reason why this fire was allowed to spread as quickly as it did. This of course raises the question why there is no automatic fire suppression system installed inside the shipbuilding sheds. Hell a dry sprinkler system that requires a hose be hooked up to a stand pipe and pump to draw water out of the river/bay at the shipyard while not ideal beats the hell out of nothing which is mile ahead of the total lack of what they apparently do not have now. Additionally even if that Yacht that is scheduled to be delivered two weeks from now at the very least is going to require a through scrubbing as well as a complete new paint job and interior furnishing because cleaning of the carpets, drapes, furniture, and wood work will always stink of smoke etc from that fire. Additionally if I was the owner of that yacht I would demand that the all the electronics on that boat be replaced with new equipment and wiring because fire smoke will definitely cut the life expectancy of the equipment as well as create anomalous faults and conditions. In short this fire was in my opinion like almost all other job site fires 100% preventable if workplace safety is the first priority followed by or equal to building world class yacht s
Dear Sir, I've been following you for two years now and I have LOVED your coverage of all things to do with superyachts but I am still missing one detail: What motivates someone to spend hundreds of millions of Euros or dollars on a superyacht? Most of these folks are shrewd business people and I have to wonder what they're getting from these extravagant expenditures especially given the lengths some of them are willing to go for privacy. Meaning I doubt they're doing it for publicity...so why buy a superyacht? I'd love to hear this story. Thank you kindly, Peter in Sacramento
@@k53847 after a fire a few years back, Lürssen has massively upgraded its fire response system and the fact that help was called so quickly and that the evacuation went so fast that there were basically no serious injuries is a testament to the processes in place. The number one priority in such cases is the safety of humans and not the ship or whatever. And considering how much flammable stuff there is on a shipyard, it’s not really a surprise that the fire grew so large so quickly and that it took sooo long to fully put out
bad fire protection in these buildings interesting how the German fire compliance did not have proper sprinklers and suppression systems that allowed fire to spread from one building to another and not suppress the original fire when it started...
Fire prevention and firefighting is a massive priority on ships, I would imagine constructing a yacht is even higher risk for fires. I wonder if shipyards have their own firefighting teams/drills like they do on ships. It's going to be a big hit on Lursen's profits, if it spread through the electrical ducting that would seem to be something that could have potentially been prevented. Similarly you have to wonder why there were no sprinklers etc....
Update-thing: The halls have many high tec video cams 7/352. AI systems alsoo can see fire or a fire devol. What kind of weak fire protection concept they have?

Duh. Ever heard of a ship lift???? You can can carry a ship on a special crane or put it on blocks with wheels. There are train tracks around the yard from the slipways to ALL of the sheds.
Good evening to you. Could it be a coincidence that motor yacht Anna was recently sold without a replacement? or could the "new" replacement be the one in the fire?
Question: Have you ever heard of a Billionaire naming a yacht after his 'Mistress'. I am talking about in the current, not in the past tense! This is one of many reasons why many crews are required to sign NDA's.
I’ve spent 40 years on boats and yachts as a smoker with lots of cooking gas, diesel and petrol. Never had a mishap. Last year drove around that island/yacht following a school of young tuna to film them. Weird dudes came out of the forest and surroundings. Also, there are restrictions in water limitations around there, which bypasses one of the fundamental rights, (line in the Greek flag), and constitution of the country pertaining to navigation. Russkies crab in everywhere off the backs of their brethren.
I foresee more employee safety and emergency response training. Do they use lithium battery electric vehicles to move things. BTW, NATO has just decided that Ukraine is too corrupt to join.
Just a heads up for you. Tucker Carlson just released a 2 hour interview with Andrey Melnichenko, owner of Superyachts A. It is fascinating how smart and well informed this guy is. Cheers from Toronto
As a US taxpayer who has already heavily subsidized the war in Ukraine plenty, they’d better reduce the check to the Ukraine from selling that boat by every penny the US taxpayers have spent moving and maintaining it!

I did wonder where the Gauloise-smoking electrician working on the Cathédrale Notre-Dame ended up.
But I suspect this fire, was a real accident.
il y a eu de nombreuses eglises qui ont brûlées la veille et le lendemain de l'incendie. Possible que ce soit criminel.
Dmitry Rybolovlev sold Anna to pay insurance to stop falling out of windows while drinking tea.
Great job. Thanks for continuing to bring us great content. Thanks for sharing.
Shadowy billionaire with his own island complete with secluded harbor to park his superyacht. Like something out of a James Bond film.

Just saw Anna anchored off Antibes the other day
Thanks again mate for more interesting news
An old electrician once told me that rule #1 is to keep the smoke in the wire. Once it gets out, it's too late.
Don't let the magic smoke escape!
Yeah. Hard to get the factory smoke back
Thats a big 'oops' moment for someone
Especially if the fire spread between buildings. Inadequate or improper fire stops or cables. Claim denied for the construction hall. Sorry.
not me guv I was doing up my boot laces

THANKS FOR THE UPDATES 🤗👍💚💚💚
The real question is where were the fire suppression systems in the building, why no sprinkler system?
The non eye witness report does not know proper construction. It's possible this building is old, or was cheaply done to not follow IRC.
Robelov sold his yacht because his new boat is due to be ready in two weeks from the Lurssen shipyard. lol
I was just about to point out that 'coincidence' myself.
Hmmmmm😂
Lots of yacht brokers now desperately seeking Rybolovlev's mobile number if that was his new ride that went up in smoke.
The mast on that yacht is particularly ugly.

Amadea seems very nice, but Schehrezade is even better 😊
Was it my imagination or was AMADEA leaning towards the starboard side when it was lightly turning to the port side?

Sometimes you can have all the gear and it still burns.

Cool! I think I can state as a fact that no family ever went hungry because their super yacht burnt down.
Is this the fourth fire at this facility?

In regards to passenger capacity, when you say the yacht can have up to twelve guests is that inclusive of the owners?
Yes. The owners are guests coz they are not crew.
Yes
how the hell would the US end up owning amadea? this boggles my mind.
We’ve documented everything since the beginning of the arrest in Fiji.
What a waste 😮
This is really bad as the build time is years, and now they have to start over.
Oh, up goes the dinghy insurance again!
Same owner of 43m SY Skorpios, just FYI
I do hope the damage to the yacht is superficial, must be upsetting for the staff who built it.

10-1 this is a Russian yacht and an old shed.
electric batteries?
Russian owner?
bummer
I love how every fire that can't be put out and is clearly a battery fire is blamed on something else as if we haven't figured out the drill by now...
You have zero evidence to conclude batteries caused the fire. And we have people actually there telling us a possible cause.

Have you seen how many flammable materials are in a shipyard? It's a miracle they don't burn down annually.

like the footage the building is on the land without contact to the sea. So it s impossible that there can be a yacht.
