An NYK Line containership that suffered an engine room fire on Friday is being towed to the port of Oakland in California, the US Coast Guard (USCG) has said.
The Liberian-flag, 4,888-teu NYK Delphinus (built 2007) was 80 nautical miles (148 km) south-west of the US port, according to the latest update issued on Sunday.
“The ship’s crew reported a continuous decrease in the temperature of the engine room’s surrounding bulkheads Sunday morning,” a USCG statement said.
