Blaze on board 20,000 tonne ship at Tilbury Docks

FireFirefighters tackled a blaze on board a 20,000 tonne ship at Tilbury Docks.

Crews arrived at Carrier Berth 4 on Thursday, 7 July at around 2.38pm, they reported that a JCB was well alight inside the ship and close to a cargo of wood chippings.

Firefighters wearing breathing apparatus are using one main jet to tackle the blaze and to damp down the wood chippings to prevent spread.

Presumably TANAIS FLYER (IMO 9186479) - AIS apparently turned off c0900 this morning.

Nicely captured by Mehmet Aksoy recently en route Ukraine for Spain and UK.
