A major fire on a cargo vessel in the Port of Hamburg has left eight people injured.
The incident occurred on May 24 at the Grevenhofkai pier in the Kuhwerderhafen area of the port.
According to reports, the fire started in the cargo hold at the stern of the vessel. The crew initially attempted to extinguish the blaze on their own, but later approximately 80 firefighters and rescue personnel were deployed to the scene.
One person received on-site medical treatment, while seven others were taken to hospital. Among the injured are one firefighter and six crew members.
German media reports indicate that the fire broke out on the general cargo vessel Jolyn, sailing under the Dutch flag. The ship is operated by the company Royal Wagenborg and had arrived in Hamburg from the Port of Hull in the United Kingdom on the same day.
