The fire-ravaged containership Maersk Honam has reached its port of refuge in the UAE.

Maersk Line said the 15,262-teu vessel (built 2017), which suffered a fatal blaze off India on 6 March, will finally reach its anchorage outside Jebel Ali on Tuesday.

The fire "remains under control," it added.

At anchorage, remaining hot spots in affected areas will be completely extinguished and further work to stabilise the vessel and bring it alongside will be carried out.
