Cape Town fire-fighters are battling a blaze on a board a British vessel owned by A.P. Moeller-Maersk A/S’s Safmarine unit that was ferrying charcoal to Rotterdam, Safmarine said.
Three containers of a shipment of nine carrying charcoal caught fire while Safmarine Nomazwe was anchored off the port of Cape Town, Safmarine said in a statement posted on its website today. All the containers were removed from the ship and a probe into the cause of the incident will be started, it said.
