Fire broke out in several containers on aft cargo deck of container ship SITC OSAKA, berthed at container terminal of Rokko island, Kobe, since May 4. All crew reportedly evacuated, as of 1500 Tokyo time firefighting was still on. Not clear why fire broke out, was it connected with recent mishap, when container ship collided with another container ship NYC VENUS, read below. Obviously, SITC OSAKA was delayed in Kobe because of collision and most probably, damages sustained, but no other details are available at the moment.
