Fire on former cruise shp in Tianjin

On Nov 18, 2024,, at 2 p.m. LT, a fire broke out aboard the accomodation ship 'Orient Princess' (IMO: 6708109) in Tianjin,. Emergency responders quickly arrived at the scene and put out the fire by 3:00 p.m. The blaze was caused by sparks that ignited insulation material during ongoing renovation work on the vessel. The 'Orient Express' was formerly known as cruise ship "Yao Hua." However, due to legal complications,it was seized by authorities in 2003. Another Chinese company subsequently took over the ship and converted it to an accommodation vessel, mooring it permanently in the Haihe Bund Park, Binhai New Area, Tianjin City, as a tourist attraction.
