Fire in ship at Dubai's Jebel Ali port now extinguished -authorities
By REUTERS / JULY 8, 2021 14:44

A fire caused by an explosion on a ship at Dubai's Jebel Ali Port, the Middle East's largest transshipment
hub, has been extinguished, the government's Dubai Media Office (DMO) said on Thursday.
The explosion was a "normal accident" in a container holding flammable material, DMO Director General
Mona Al Marri told Saudi-owned Al Arabiya television channel.
Arabiya cited Dubai police as saying the cause may have been "friction or high temperatures" during the
hot summer months.

Witnesses in residential areas between 15 km
and 22 km from Jebel Ali had heard the blast.
DMO said in a statement that there were no
casualties or injuries. It posted footage of water
being pumped to douse flames and debris at the
scene.

There appeared to be normal movement of vehicles in and out of the port while civil defence vehicles
continued to arrive at around 2100 GMT, Reuters witnesses said.
Dubai in the United Arab Emirates is the region's trade, business and tourism hub. Port authorities are
taking necessary measures to ensure normal movement of ships, the DMO said.
"A fire caused by an explosion within a container on board a ship at Jebel Ali Port has been brought
under control; no casualties have been reported," DMO said on Twitter.
It said the ship, which was not identified, was preparing to dock at a berth "away from the port's main
shipping line".
Al Arabiya cited the Dubai government as saying the ship's crew had been evacuated in time.
State-owned DP World, which owns Jebel Ali Port, had no immediate comment when contacted by
Reuters.
Jebel Ali port handled 13.5 million shipping containers in 2020, down 4.4% year-on-year due to the
COVID-19 pandemic.

NOTA: Personalmente no encontré publicidad de este caso, me imagino que
para no darle mal prestigio a un puerto del nivel del puerto Jebel Ali de Dubai
