Exploding on the Stolt Groenland tanker

#ship #tanker #StoltGroenland Exploding on the STOLT GROENLAND tanker A powerful explosion occurred around 11 o’clock in the afternoon on September 28, 2019. The explosion was followed by a large fire, which spilled over onto the second tanker moored next to STOLT GROENLAND. The explosion was caused by overheating of the cargo, namely, styrene monomer in the tank number 9, and there were liquids in the adjacent tanks that had to be maintained in a heated state. As a result of the catastrophic rupture, a large amount of steam was released into the atmosphere, after which it ignited. Extinguishing the fire by emergency services lasted more than six hours, involving more than seven hundred personnel and 117 units of fire trucks, pumps, and fire tow trucks. Welcome to our channel!
