The cause of a fire that broke out aboard a Zim-operated containership off Canada on Friday remains unknown, the Canadian Coast Guard (CCG) said.
The 4,253-teu Zim Kingston (built 2008) had sailed into bad weather resulting in dozens of containers falling overboard, while others that were still on the ship caught fire.
Some of the containers were carrying potassium amyl xanthate, a flammable and toxic chemical that was hindering efforts to extinguish the fire.
