On the morning of February 15, 2013, a smoldering fire was detected aboard the 'Cap San Diego' while docked at the landing piers in Hamburg. The incident stemmed from welding activities conducted on the ship's starboard insulation the day prior, February 14. Although the fire had initiated during the evening, it wasn't until the following morning that the scent of smoke was noticed in cargo hold IV. Quick action by the fire brigade enabled the safe removal of the smoldering insulation, effectively extinguishing the remnants of the fire. The prompt response ensured minimal disruption to operations and preserved the integrity of the vessel.
