Msc-Hina Ship Details and Seafarer Feedback

On the evening of June 22, 2026, a fire erupted from a mobile crane located at the D Berth in the Point precinct of Durban Harbour. The incident caused a halt in operations for approximately one hour as emergency response teams swiftly intervened. The mobile crane, positioned in front of the container ship 'MSC Hina' during cargo loading operations, was the focal point of the emergency response. A tugboat was deployed to douse the flames, spraying water across the deck of the MSC Hina. Thankfully, there were no reported injuries, and the exact cause of the fire is still under investigation; preliminary speculations suggest that a leaking or severed fuel line could be involved. As of June 24, the MSC Hina remained anchored at the port, with details regarding potential damage to equipment yet to be revealed.
