A major container ship fire at sea occurs on average every 60 days, insurer TT Club claims with four such incidents already in 2019.
“The recent reports of container ship fires has once more focused those in the container supply chain on safety issues related to the incorrect processing of dangerous goods,” it says.
The recent fire aboard the Yantian Express, the ongoing investigation into the Maersk Honan fire and the recent container fire and subsequent sinking of the Grande America in the Bay of Biscay are currently making headline news.
