Tulipalo konttilaivalla Sri Lankan edustalla

[Juha Tuomala]

On Tuesday 4th April, at approximately 1030hrs local time, a fire was reported onboard the MSC Daniela. The vessel was sailing from Singapore enroute to Port Said when the fire broke out toward the bow of the ship.

The crew immediately initiated emergency procedures and attempted to control the fire.

MSC, in coordination with the local and national authorities, undertook a concerted effort to extinguish the fire which involved tug-boats, a specialised fire-fighting vessel and a helicopter. MSC is pleased to confirm that no injuries to the 22-man crew have been reported.

Varmaan vaikea sammuttaa jos palo on syvällä ruumassa olevissa konteissa.
