Kraftig brand om bord på ZIM containerskib

Det israelske containerrederi ZIM bekræfter nu, at der for 11 dage siden udbrød brand om bord på rederiets containerskib Zim Charleston, mens skibet befandt sig i Det Indiske Ocean. Branden, der brød ud i lastrum 4, ødelagde eller skadede op mod 300 containere.

Ifølge rederiet indeholdt lastrum containere med farligt indhold.

Efter at branden brød ud vendte skibet - der er langtidschartret fra Seaspan - om, og returnerede til Colombo. Her ligger det fortsat ved kaj.

Årsagen til branden er endnu ukendt, men såvel myndigheder som rederiet har iværksat en undersøgelse.

Oplysningerne om branden kommer samtidig med, at Maersk netop har offentliggjort, at det har indgået en stor aftale med Viking om at installere det danske selskabs HydroPen brandbekæmpelsesudstyr om bord på rederiets containerskibe.
