Container fire breaks out at Port of Antwerp-Bruges

Port of Antwerp-Bruges reported a container fire incident at MSC PSA European Terminal (MPET), quay 1742.

On 24 June at 05:30 (local time), the Belgian port said that terminal operations were temporarily suspended due to a fire that broke out in a container, with shipping traffic currently blocked at Deurganckdok.

After one and a half hours, shipping traffic in the area resumed as firefighters brought the fire under control and moved the box to a safe location.

“Everyone involved is now making every effort to restart all activities as soon as possible,” pointed out the port in the latest update.
