Container ships collide and catch fire at Port Klang (video)
Two container ships collided at Malaysia’s Port Klang Tuesday, triggering a fire on both vessels.
The UASC container ship Al Riffa and the San Felipe, owned by Bernhard Schulte Ship Management, reportedly collided at about 7:30 p.m. at Wharf 20 of Port Klang, and a fire started in the forward sections of both vessels.
The Al Riffa had to be towed away to prevent the fire from spreading to other ships and the fire on San Felipe was contained.
