Contractors have been evacuated from a Teekay FSO that was hit by fire in Norway.

The blaze began in the engine room of the 125,000-dwt Randgrid (built 1995) at Mekjarvik, the Stavanger Aftenblad reported.

A total of 138 people were taken off the ship.

Teekay confirmed the incident to TradeWinds, which followed a fire alarm.

"A small fire had broken out in the engine room which was extinguished immediately," it said.
