Container Fire on Ever Lenient at Singapore’s Pasir Panjang Put Out

An overnight multi-agency response contained the blaze without injuries or pollution.

Overview

  • The Ever Lenient, which caught fire Friday at Singapore's PSA Pasir Panjang Terminal, has had the blaze extinguished, officials said Saturday.
  • Singapore Civil Defence Force led overnight firefighting with PSA’s emergency team, MPA patrol craft, marine vessels, and drone support.
  • All crew were accounted for with no injuries, and authorities reported no oil pollution in the area.
  • SCDF is cooling the affected bays and PSA is safely discharging damaged containers as investigators probe the cause.
  • Pasir Panjang is Singapore’s main container hub, so rapid containment helped avoid delays for ships and cargo moving through the port.
