The rescue vessels "Baltic" (l) and "Arkona" (r) are moored alongside the coastal tanker "Annika" (largely obscured by the "Arkona") in the Baltic Sea, with a tugboat in the middle. The 73-metre-long oil and chemical tanker "Annika" burns in the Baltic Sea north-east of Kühlungsborn (Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania).
