A Yang Ming container ship has exploded in the Chinese port of Ningbo.

Dramatic footage caught the moment the 6,589-teu YM Mobility (built 2021) blew up in Ningbo-Zhoushan Port in Zhejiang province on Friday morning.

It is not yet known whether there have been any casualties on the Liberian-flagged post-panamax.

Shockwaves were felt as far as a kilometre away, Reuters reported.
