Discover the Yi-Hui-Zhi-Hai: Ratings & Maritime News

On July 19, 2018, maritime safety was put to the test when a fire ignited within the cargo hold of the 'CSC Zhi Hai' while the vessel was docked at Changshu port, located in Shanghai. The fire involved the vessel's paper pulp cargo, which became a serious hazard. In response to the unfolding situation, the onboard CO2 fire suppression system was promptly activated. Given the combustible nature of the cargo, swift actions were taken to ensure safety; both the crew and terminal personnel were evacuated, and a safety perimeter was established around the affected area. An emergency response team closely monitored the situation, awaiting the cooling of the ship's hull before further actions were taken.
