As informed, a dense smoke was detected in hold number 4 of MV COSCO Shipping Thames voyage 6E.
The crew activated the fire extinguisher system and subsequently put out the fire, German shipping company Hapag-Lloyd said.
At the time of the incident, the boxship was carrying more than 30 containers which were not affected by the fire.
An investigation into the causes of the fire has been launched.
Due to the longer stay in Singapore, the vessel is likely to bypass its call at Hong Kong port. COSCO Shipping Thames departed for China’s Yangshan Port on August 29, the ship’s AIS data from VesselsValue shows.
“We very much regret any inconvenience caused, which in this case is beyond our control,” Hapag-Lloyd further said.
Built in 2017, the vessel is deployed in the Asia to South America Eastcoast (ASE) service.
中國遠洋航運公司擁有的一艘9,092 TEU集裝箱船於8月23日著火，當時正在前往新加坡。
據了解，MV COSCO Shipping Thames航行6E號4號艙內檢測到濃煙。
德國航運公司Hapag-Lloyd說，機組人員啟動了滅火器系統並隨後滅火。
在事件發生時，這艘船隻載有30多個不受火災影響的集裝箱。
已經啟動了對火災原因的調查。
由於在新加坡逗留的時間較長，該船可能會繞過香港港口。該船的AIS數據來自VesselsValue，該公司於8月29日前往中國的洋山港。
“我們非常後悔造成的任何不便，在這種情況下我們無法控制，” Hapag-Lloyd進一步說道。
該船建於2017年，部署在亞洲至南美東海岸（ASE）服務中。
