Brand om bord på stort containerskib

Der brød mandag morgen en brand ud i maskinrummet på containerskibet Cape Cortia, da det var på vej mod Balboa i Panamakanalen. Skibet, der var chartret af MSC var på vej fra Chile og branden forstyrrede i en kort periode indsejlingen til kanalen fra Stillehavssiden.

Videoer viser røg fra skibet, der nåede at komme ud af kontrol, inden slæbebåde fra Panamakanalen og to brandslukningsfartøjer, kom til undsætning.

Skibet, der er 330 meter langt og har en kapacitet på 11.000 teu, er ejet af Costmare Shipping i Grækenland og ramte ifølge rapporter muligvis tørlastskibet Ernst Oldensoff, der også var på vej mod terminalen i Balboa.

Ifølge Panamakanalens myndighed er der ingen rapporter om tilskadekomne.
