According to some witnesses, while they were working there, they saw smoke rising from the Hai Ha 18 ship. Just a few minutes later, the fire broke out and burned fiercely.
The Hai Phong Port Authority said that upon receiving the news, the unit sent rescue ships and officers to join the firefighting force to put out the fire. However, because the vessel was an oil tanker, the fire flared up very strongly, making it difficult to control.
As of 7:20 p.m. tonight, the ship is still on fire. Hai Phong City mobilized all firefighting forces from ports and related units to focus on rescuing the ship both underwater and onshore.
According to initial information there were no casualties.
