The Ah Shin cargo ship, sailing from South Korea, caught fire in Vietnamese waters. There were approximately 4,500 new Chery cars on board. This was reported on the Tuoi Tre Online portal.
The fire on the ship became clear on February 4. But on the evening of February 5, they managed to localize the fire.
The Ah Shin team used about 50 tons of carbon dioxide to put out the fire, but it wasn’t enough. After that, the ship’s captain asked permission to send the ship to the port city of Vung Tau for resupply.
The fact that electric vehicles were also in the vehicle made it difficult to extinguish the fire. According to preliminary data, all cars were destroyed.
The incident caused the ship to lean five degrees to starboard. Fortunately, none of the crew members were injured.
