The electrical fire onboard the container ship One Henry Hudson in the Port of Los Angeles has been substantially contained while efforts continue to fully extinguish the blaze, which began Friday evening, Port of Los Angeles officials said on Sunday.
The Port is open for business after community shelter-in-place orders and work restrictions were lifted Saturday and all lanes of the nearby 47 Freeway between Gaffney Street and Ocean Boulevard in San Pedro have reopened.
A Unified Command including crews from the Los Angeles and Long Beach fire departments, the U.S. Coast Guard, Los Angeles Port Police and Los Angeles Police Department remain at the scene along with select Henry Hudson crew members.
No injuries have been reported.
The fire was reported at 6:38 p.m. Friday at 701 East New Dock Street in San Pedro, drawing a sizeable emergency response from Heavy Rescue, HazMat, Urban Search and Rescue, Fire Boats and Air Operations units, according to Los Angeles Fire Department spokeswoman Lyndsey Lantz.
Fire was visible on several levels of the 1,100-foot vessel as LAFD crews worked to confirm all 23 crew members were accounted for and safely off the ship while identifying the fire’s source and working to contain it.
Port Police and Customs personnel helped with getting crew members off the ship, Lantz said.
At 7:58 p.m., an explosion was reported mid-deck, disrupting power to the ship, including lighting and crane operations. By 8:27 p.m., the final five crew members were assisted off the vessel, and all crew were accounted for, according to Lantz.
