It should be remembered that the Yang Ming Marine Transport Corporation container ship , docked at the Beilun Terminal of the Chinese port area, experienced the explosion of a refrigerated cargo container located in the bow of the ship, which generated a fire that was managed to be controlled without causing greater damage.
No casualties or injuries were reported after the explosion, which took place around 1:40 p.m. (05:40 GMT), despite the explosion between containers sending cargo flying and generating shrapnel.
Despite the above, some offices located near the pier were affected by the shock waves of the detonation , according to the state newspaper Qilu Evening News.
“Our windows were damaged and the ceiling of our dining room collapsed a little,” an employee of a company located about 1 kilometer from the ship told Qilu Evening News.
The port in eastern China’s Zhejiang Province is operated by Ningbo Zhoushan Port .
