Port of Antwerp-Bruges has reported a container fire incident at MSC PSA European Terminal (MPET) quay 1742.
At 5.30am local time on Monday, the Belgian port said that terminal operations were temporarily suspended due to a fire that broke out in a container, with shipping traffic currently blocked at Deurganckdok.
After one and a half hours, shipping traffic in the area resumed as firefighters brought the fire under control and moved the box to a safe location.
“Everyone involved is now making every effort to restart all activities as soon as possible,” the port said in an update.
