Two fireboats and twenty units of fire-fighting equipment were rushed to Pier 23 in an attempt to extinguish the flames which were burning fiercely in the forward hold of the ship. The ship developed a pronounced starboard list after tons of water had been poured down the hold by firemen.in an attempt fo bring the fire under control.
