"Firefighting efforts continued through the night, led by the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF), with MPA deploying patrol craft to conduct seaward cordon duties and drones to provide aerial surveillance in support of firefighting operations. SCDF continues to cool the area to ensure no residual heat remains," MPA said in the statement.
Port operations at Pasir Panjang Terminal remain unaffected as PSA Singapore assists with the safe discharge of affected containers as part of follow-up operations.
There are no reported injuries after a fire broke out on a container vessel at PSA Pasir Panjang Terminal on Friday (April 10), said the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA).
In a media statement, MPA said it was alerted to a case of container fire onboard London-registered container vessel Ever Lenient at about 3pm.
Built in 2014, the vessel can carry about 9,400 twenty-foot equivalent units (TEU).
Information based on maritime automatic identification system data presented on ship tracking platform MarineTraffic indicates that the Ever Lenient docked at about 6am on Friday.
Checks by AsiaOne on Friday night show that at least two Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) marine firefighting vessels and an MPA patrol craft are in the vicinity of the container vessel.
A MPA spokesperson told AsiaOne that firefighting efforts are ongoing, adding that the authority has deployed three patrol craft and an emergency response team.
The spokesperson also said that SCDF firefighters and vessels from their marine division are on site.
All crew have been accounted for with no injuries reported. There are also no reports of oil pollution due to the fire.
According to MPA, port operations at PSA Pasir Panjang Terminal are not affected and safety measures are in place around the berth.
