Efforts to extinguish the fire have made continuous progress and have allowed the fire to be
largely contained and brought under control.

Based on current available information, we have to assume that all cargo in bay 12 on deck
and forward is directly affected by the fire, as well as all cargo in Hold 1 (Bay 1 to 9).
Furthermore, we have to expect that all cargo in Hold 2 (Bay 11 to 17) is affected by fire,
smoke and / or damage caused by firefighting water. Damage caused by smoke, heat and /
or firefighting water in adjacent areas is also possible.

We have been informed the vessel Yantian Express v108E in the EC5 service string has experienced a fire on deck during her voyage from Asia to Halifax. At present, the ship is approximately 800 nautical miles off the coast of Canada (Nova Scotia).
