Voldsom brand på skib i Tacoma havn

Mandskabet på tre brandslukningsfartøjer kæmpede i timevis for at få en voldsom brand på fiskefartøjet Aleutian Falcon under kontrol. Branden brød ud onsdag aften lokal tid og truede med at nå skibets tanke med ammoniak.

U.S. Coast Guard lagde en knap 1,5 km sikkerhedszone rundt om skibet på grund af frygt for eksplosioner. Samtidig holdt de øje med eventuelt oliespild fra skibet, der har omkring 180 tons diesel om bord.

Det 40 år gamle fartøj på 2051 bt sejler under amerikansk flag og er hjemmehørende i Seattle nord for Tacoma.

Der er ikke rapporteret om tilskadekomne ved branden.
