A 23 meter motor yacht titled m/y Lady Amethyst with Austrian flag and four persons onboard went ablaze on 02:00 hours of Sunday seventeen April in Port Pin Roland, Saint-Mandrier, near Toulon. Immediate the reaction of the fire fighting squad which committed the resources of 55 fire fighters, four fire engines, two ambulances, and one SNSM ship. After saving three of the four Austrian crew, the second course of action was to isolate the yacht in order to not ignite nearby yachts. The operation to extinguish the flames took about ten hours, with the yacht a total wreck after the fire. The saved three crew members needed to be hospitalised for de-intoxication with a fourth crew member being reported lost as at 18 April. No pollution was reported with a plan to remove the wreck on 20 April. M/y Lady Amethyst arrived in Port Pin Roland on the evening of 15 April, which was also the day the yacht completed its sale from a French to the new Austrian owner.
Motor yacht Lady Amethyst is a Conam 75 Wide Body as designed by Giuseppe Cimino and produced from 2003 till 2010 in ten units. The 75 Wide Body was Conam largest ever build yacht, and used the full wide body design the Naples boat builder pioneered to its flybridge boats with the 48 Chorum in 1990.
