Damaged container ship sold for scrap
Korea Maritime Transport Co (KMTC) has sold the "KMTC Hongkong" for scrap which was involved in a spectacular fire while calling at Laem Chabang port on May 25. Best Oasis is understood to have paid $425 per ldt for the fire ravaged vessel in a deal that also comes with 390 tonnes of bunkers. The fire, resulting from non-declared highly flammable toxic chemicals including calcium hypochlorite carried by the ship, led to noxious smoke and acidic ash raining down on nearby villages. Over 200 people were hospitalised due to contact with toxic substances from the blaze.
