Nine of the Spanish crew were winched to safety off the vessel on Saturday by the Irish Coast Guard helicopter about 50 miles off Co Donegal.
The remainder of the crew stayed on board to help fight the fire that broke out in the living quarters.
Clyde Coastguard co-ordinated the rescue operation and emergency services were deployed from Donegal and Sligo.
