The crew “is continuing efforts to control the fire in one of the ship’s cargo tanks with support from military vessels”, Trafigura said in a statement on Saturday morning.
The Marshall Islands-flagged, 110,000-dwt Marlin Luanda (built 2018) was struck in the Gulf of Aden on Friday afternoon after transiting the Red Sea delivering a cargo of jet fuel to Singapore.
