Explosion and fire on bulk carrier

The 'Altzek', loaded with coal bound from Nacala in Nampula, to Poland via Las Palmas, caught fire following an engine room explosion on the afternoon of April 13, 2025. Four tugs with fire-fighting equipment from the CFM-Logistic and Corredor Logístico Norte were mobilized to the site, but the fire had already been extinguished by the ship’s crew. There were four minor injuries among the crew members. They were out of danger and undergoing treatment at a clinic in Nacala after being dropped off in the port. A team of naval engineers was called to carry out a technical assessment of the ship to determine whether it could continue its voyage.
