A 37 meter super yacht titled m/y Chanson had a fire while berthed at Bakers Bay Marina in the Abacos on the evening of eight March. Unfortunately a voluntary fire fighter named Steve Jenkins who had grievous injuries when falling from the truck during this yacht fire, and was air-lifted to Nassau for treatment did not make it and later lost his life. No other injuries are reported to crew, and other personnel, although it is not known if there was anyone onboard at the time of the fire. The yacht's tender a center console of about forty foot was also lost and destroyed in the fire. After the fire got extinguished the 37 meter super yacht partly sank, heavily listing to its port side and its stern fully submersed in the water. Unconfirmed news are reporting the fire started from a Lithium Ion battery from one of the water toys. So far there is little information about this fire, with the news broken first on social media and then on the Yachtforums website.
M/y Chanson is a Delta Marine 124 from 1998, powered by twin Detroit engines for speeds up to seventeen knots, with accommodation for eight guests in four suites, and six crew in three cabins. Produced from 1997 to 2003 in six units the Delta Marine 124 came out as an evolution of the 122 model which was launched some months earlier in 1997 and delivered in two units. Chanson was last sold in 2017, when it had an asking price of 4,500,000 US$.
