Port of Ningbo Zhoushan resumes operations after container explosion

Ningbo Beilun’s Phase III terminal has resumed loading and unloading operations following a 60-hour closure after a dangerous goods container exploded on the YM Mobility vessel at the port. 

The box contained organic peroxide materials and recent hot weather in the city has been considered as a potential cause for the fire. 

The explosion did not result in any casualties with all crew members found safe and the exact contributory factors will be determined under professional assessment.
