In the afternoon of July 10, 2018, a fire broke out aboard the 'Kuyou' in Mallegat-North in Dordrecht which has scrap on board. Extinguishing the fire was expected to take a long time, the fire department expects. Several fire engines attended, and also a fireboat was on scene to assist with the extinguishing work. The port was provisionally closed for the other shipping traffic. Dense smoke was released during the fire, but no dangerous concentrations of harmful substances were measured. The smoke drifted towards the residential boulevard on the Mijlweg and the Wielwijk. On the A16 motorway it was somewhat hazy due to the smoke. But it was not necessary to close the boulevard or the motorway. The cause of the fire was not yet clear. There were no injuries. The 'Kouyou' had docked in the seaport at 2 a.m., coming from Moerdijk. https://www.rijnmond.nl/n... https://www.transport-onl...
