Somalia: a ship burnt to ashes in Mogadishu habour

Mogadishu Saturday 30 January 2010 SMC

A ship which has disembarked from a seaport in Kismayo town the headquarters of the lower Jubba region in Somalia which is some 500km from the Somali capital Mogadishu and docked in Mogadishu seaport on Friday has caught fire in Mogadishu seaport. 

The ship called MV Al-Marjan was laden with charcoal and its destination was one of the Gulf state although the authority in Mogadishu seaport have not specified which country it was actually heading to. 

‘The ship docked while it was partly burning and we don’t think that it can be salvaged from the burning, and here in the seaport we don’t have standard equipment to fight the fire’ said Engineer Abdi Jinow Alasow the manager of Mogadishu seaport speaking to Somaliweyn Website on Saturday. 

The captain of the ship has added that it was not in his route to reach Mogadishu seaport, but thought that they can help him extinguish the fire, and thinks that things will end up in vain. 

It burning of ships in Somali is a very common, and the authorities in the Somali seaports have less equipment to stop the fire which ignites in the seaport especially the fire on the ship.
