Firefighters have extinguished the fire that erupted aboard a Zim-operated boxship after a collapse of containers containing toxic substances.
Tugboats continue to operate to prevent renewed flareups, and additional firefighting personnel are due to board the 4,253-teu Zim Kingston (built 2008) soon, according to the liner operator.
Another crew is preparing to board the containership to provide an assessment of the vessel and cargo, in order to bring the ship to harbour to unload the cargo and further address the damage.
