A fourteen meter Fairline sport cruiser with German flag was saved from a fire scare as it was anchored at S'Espalmador islet, to the North of Formentera on the afternoon of Tuesday first June.  The boat was first assisted by nearby boaters as Palma Maritime Rescue Coordination Center was alerted of the fire and deployed the Salvamar Naos to the scene, who managed to control the fire.  The fire was reported to have originated from a mechanical failure to an engine.  The number of persons onboard the sport cruiser was not reported at the time of the fire, as was not the extent of the damage.

The Fairline in this fire is a Targa 47 GT as designed inhouse and by Bernard Olesinski and produced from 2005 to 2010 in 200 units.  The Targa 47 GT was a replacement to the Targa 43, and was replaced by the Fairline Targa 48 Open.
