The Tacoma Fire Department told the local news agreed that according to preliminary investigations, the fire of the ship may be caused by electrical failures on a device on the upper deck. Because the fire was controlled in time, the ship itself was very damaged.
According to data, the "Midnight Sun" built in 2003 is one of the freight rolling boats connecting Tacoma and Alaska Anklech. The rolling ship "MIDNIGHT Sun" brings various highway trailers, private vehicles, super large goods and various goods to the Alaska market.
It is reported that since September 6, the Rolling Ship "Midnight Sun" has not been in the commercial sailing plan and plans to resume navigation on October 7.
The rolling cargo ship "Midnight Sun", the IMO number 9232278, a total of 65314 tons, was built in 2003, hanging the US flag, operator TOTE.
According to data, in 2021, fires are the third most important causes of global shipping accidents, second only to mechanical damage (from 1311) and collisions (starting from 222). In the past 10 years, 41 total losses involving rolling ships have been caused by fires.
They pointed out that rolling vessels and car transport ships may be more vulnerable to fire, and the problem of stability is more serious than other ships. In order to facilitate the transportation of cars and other vehicles, the internal space is not divided into separate parts like other cargo ships.
Lack of internal partitions may have an adverse effect on fire safety, and small fires on a car or battery may quickly lose control. Once the loading is completed, the vehicle is not easy to approach. A large amount of air in the open cargo cabin can provide ready -made oxygen supply at the time of fire.
Rahul Khanna, the person in charge of AGCS Global Marine Risk Consultation, said: "Safety transportation has become an emerging risk issue for the shipping industry, which has caused people to be full of fire detection and fire capacity on board, and even considering that special equipment requires special equipment to come to Is it necessary to change the problem of ship design and other issues such as the fire.
