The fire that erupted aboard a Grimaldi Group ro-ro vessel off New Jersey on Wednesday night is still burning and may continue to do so for days, an incident management official said on Friday.
The fire started at about 9:30pm local time Wednesday (0130 GMT Thursday) on the 3,950-lane-metre Grande Costa d’Avorio (built in 2011), controlled by subsidiary Grimaldi Deep Sea, while it was at berth at the Port of Newark.
