General cargo ship Heiko (IMO 6900379) could be taken in tow due to ongoing strong heat development two days after the fire that broke out on September 19th. A salvage crew could not board the wreck to investigate the part of the vessel that suffered the fire because of the heat, and therefore it could not be established whether the fire was out. The Coastal Administration has asked for a salvage plan. Once Heiko can be boarded the police will conduct technical examinations on board. Heiko was sailing in ballast when she suffered an engine breakdown followed by a fire. The ship drifted aground Flatøy off Askvoll, south-west Norway, in Sogn og Fjordane. 1968-built, Norway-flagged, 769 gt Heiko is owned by Eidnes BO care of manager Hardangerfrakt AS of Dalsoyra, Norway. It is entered with Hydor SA.
