A fire broke out at Al Hamra Marina, located in Ras Al Khaimah, 90km from Dubai, on the 35m yacht Moon. The fire destroyed most of the ship's upper deck and sundeck before spreading to the main deck and engulfing the saloon.

After firefighters unsuccessfully tried to stop the spread of fire while the yacht was berthed in the marina, the decision was made to tow her out to high seas where she was apparently left to burn.

The Moon is an all-wooden yacht built by Eser Yat in 2000. She has seven cabins accommodating up to 14 passengers. The yacht is equipped with two 1600 hp MAN engines.
