No injuries or pollution have been reported after a fire hit a Torm tanker in France.

The blaze began in an accommodation deck on the 50,000-dwt MR product carrier Torm Louise (built 2009) in the early hours of Wednesday in Dunkirk.

The Danish shipowner told TradeWinds: "Fire was noted on an accommodation deck during berthing approach at Dunkirk, France. The fire was extinguished with assistance from [a] shore firefighting team."
