On January 21, 2025, a significant incident occurred north of Tsuwaji Island, Japan, when the containership DONGJIN FORTUNE suffered an engine room fire. The vessel, which had departed from Busan, South Korea, just the day before, was en route when the fire broke out. Fortunately, the crew acted quickly to extinguish the flames, preventing any injuries or further escalation of the fire.
Despite the crew’s swift action, the fire left the vessel immobile and unable to continue its journey. As a result, the vessel was towed by a tugboat to Hiroshima, Japan, for a thorough inspection and potential repairs. The incident caused significant disruption to the vessel’s voyage and is expected to result in damages ranging from $1.5 million to $2 million, factoring in repair costs and lost time.
The exact cause of the engine room fire is still under investigation, but early reports indicate that it could be related to electrical issues or machinery malfunction, common causes of such incidents.
