The Malta Ship Registry is conducting an investigation into the Zim containership incident in which several boxes caught fire and more than 100 others fell overboard during a storm off Canada.

A fire erupted on 22 October in containers carrying hazardous chemical potassium amyl xanthate aboard the 4,253-teu Zim Kingston (built 2008) while the vessel was anchored 4.7 nautical miles off the Port of Vancouver.
