Posted on December 6, 2021 |
Almirante Storni, a cargo vessel carrying timber off Gothenburg on Sweden's west coast, caught fire that was sailing under the Liberian flag.
The ship's cargo caught fire where wood products were, with large amounts of fuel, making the situation scary,
The Swedish Civil Contingency Agency (MSB) began to draw the fuel to prepare with all the resources in case of any leak.
MSB sent 2 helicopters from many authorities and organizations to assist in the control of the fire.
However, the ship's captain refused to evacuate the crew of 17 people as the fire was in a particular part of the ship, not causing immediate danger.
