Yet another container
Yet another container ship fire.
The fire was well ablaze on the Singapore-flagged container vessel MV Wan Hai 503 on Monday
Not sure what they load on box boats these days but every other day we hear about fires either on Car Carriers or Container ships.
Used to be Tankers were classed as dangerous ships but things have changed now.

Re: Yet another container
I suspect some of those containers carry goods they should not.
Many laden at source then transported to the docks, should be checked but how many miss that?

Re: Yet another container
Maybe it's EVs that have been nicked and sealed in containers? We often hear about nicked cars being found in them at Tilbury.

Re: Yet another container
That looks as though there was an explosion first, displaced the upper containers.
