Fire/smoke still remains on board the vessel but is currently under control. More firefighting tugs have been deployed and they will continue to fight the fire. The salvage team with fire experts and firefighters are already on board the vessel and are carrying out the risk assessment. They have already taken steps to stop the spreading of fire into other areas.

All crew are safe.We have been advised that special firefighting equipment will arrive tomorrow. We, therefore, remain hopeful that the fire will be put out by the salvage team at the soonest time possible.

X-Press Feeders regrets the current situation which is beyond our control.

We will continue to keep customers informed of developments onboard the vessel.
