Second Fire Breaks Out Aboard Boxship Zim Kingston

Two months after a container fire broke out aboard the boxship Zim Kingston in the Strait of Juan de Fuca, a second blaze started during salvage efforts at a pier in nearby Port of Nanaimo.

According to local CHEK News, a fire started at about 1300 hours on Tuesday while the vessel was alongside at the port’s Duke Point breakbulk terminal.
