Containership Fire
Southeast Asia | Vietnam
While under way along the coast of Vietnam, a 3,000 TEU container ship reported a fire within its forward deck containers. Following instructions from the owners and their insurers, Resolve Marine mobilized a salvage team from Singapore, complemented by local Vietnamese salvors and firefighters. With the timely intervention of the salvage team, the fire was restricted from spreading further aft and brought under control. When the fire was declared extinguished, the vessel was approved for berthing and discharge at a terminal in Vung Tau.
