AP Moller-Maersk said a just-built container ship on charter from a Japanese shipowner has suffered a fire off India.

The Danish liner operator said its 5,920-teu Maersk Frankfurt (built 2024) suffered the fire while it was sailing from Mundra to the Sri Lankan port of Colombo.

Clarksons data shows the vessel was delivered from Japanese shipbuilder Imabari Shipbuilding in June.
