Fire under control aboard the "Safmarine Meru" In the morning of May 11 the fire seemed to be under control, with about 40 containers either being destroyed or damaged. A team of Chinese authorities and representatives of Maersk Line has been on board the "Safmarine Meru" on May 10 to map the damage and collect the necessary information. Customers with cargo on board the Safmarine Meru have been contacted directly. Maersk was cooperating with the Chinese authorities to develop a plan to safely tow the ship to the port of Ningbo. The vessel was without power, and has taken some water in due to a leak in the engine room area and a stern hold next to superstructure, but the condition was stable, so it was deemed suitable for towing. Firefighting was continued by tugs and Coast Guard vessels. The crew members were safe. Crisis counselors were on site to offer support. Action was being taken to release the crew. The "Northern Jasper" left the mooring of Zhoushan on May 11 and resumed her voyage to Yangshan.
