Fire on UASC Containership at Port of Hamburg

A hearth broke out within the cargo space of a UASC containership early Friday morning because it arrived on the port of Hamburg.

Local media reports say that firefighters have been known as to a container terminal at Waltershof shortly after midnight to reply to a hearth within the container stacks onboard the 13,500 TEU MV Alula.

As many as 20 containers needed to be faraway from the vessel in order that firefighters might attain the supply of the blaze. The burning container was finally taken ashore and opened in order that its smoldering contents, reported to be cardboard bales, might be totally extinguished.

The hearth was utterly out at about 3:30 a.m. native time, based on to reviews.

AIS data confirmed the Alula moored at Waltershof 6:00 p.m. EDT Friday.
