A fire broke out aboard one of the ships in Southampton docks on January 28, while it was loading scrap at Berth 109.
The fire started in an 8,000-tonne pile of scrap metal, and crews from three fire stations rushed to Herbert Walker Avenue.
As the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service informed, the incident was scaled down overnight with the ship’s fire suppression system in use.
One fire appliance remains this morning to monitor the temperature, with a number of fire engines expected to return to the scene this afternoon, working alongside the ship’s crew to ensure the fire is fully extinguished
A statement has also been issued today by S Norton, a recycling company based at the King George V Dry Dock at Western Avenue, Southampton, confirming a fire on board the Nord Baltic.
No injuries were reported, while the fire caused minimal damage.
An investigation will now be being to identify the cause of the fire
