This couldn't be more suspicious and it's from Malta! You know the Knights of Malta that run most of the big businesses around the world. Shipping containers always catch fire. sarcasm.
The container ship that lost dozens of containers in heavy seas west of the US-Canadian border Friday has reportedly caught fire Saturday.
The Maltese-flagged ZIM Kingston is now anchored at Constance Bank, in the Straits of Juan de Fuca off of Victoria, British Columbia, and photos published on social media show a fire broke out in the cargo area.
There have been no calls to abandon ship, but 16 crew members were evacuated, leaving five still on board. There are reports that hazardous material in two of the shipping containers caught fire.
This is the same vessel that lost 40 containers due to rough waters on Friday. The Canadian and U.S. Coast Guards are monitoring the situation, given possible environmental hazards.
