Disasters pile up on one another! The container ship is in trouble again. The cargo owner needs to pay attention

Time:2021-12-27 Publisher:Kevin Num:3289

In the second half of this year, the bad weather at Sea continued, and many container ships were affected to varying degrees. Among them, "Zim Kington" under Zim is one of them.

In October, the container lost 109 containers in a strong storm. To make matters worse, a serious fire broke out on the ship the next day and lasted for several days.

Recently, however, a new situation has emerged for the container ship. Another fire broke out when it landed at Nanaimo port in Canada for unloading.

According to Ian, head of the port authority at the port, the fire was caused by the insulating material of a damaged container. Some workers described that thick smoke suddenly appeared in the container pile.

It also said that it was possible that the sparks generated under high-temperature operation had a chemical reaction with the materials in the container, which led to the serious fire.

It is understood that the fire was found around 1 p.m. and it took nearly an hour and a half for the rescue workers on the scene to put out the fire. At present, no casualties have been found.

The port released the latest news that the damaged containers on board will be unloaded from the ship one after another. The staff will unload about 10 containers every day.

Once the damaged container is completely unloaded, the container will be transported to another port for unloading.

It is understood that the ship has been attached to Kaohsiung port, Ningbo port, Yantian port and Shanghai port. Therefore, if the cargo of the owner and freight forwarder is on the ship, please pay attention to the latest news. 

GLA Family will also timely follow up the latest situation of the event.
