Overview
- All 23 crew members were safely accounted for with no injuries after an electrical fire ignited below deck Friday evening.
- An explosion about 90 minutes into the incident cut power to lights and crane operations, complicating access to lower holds.
- LAFD reports containment at or near 0% with roughly 40 containers burning and difficult to reach below deck.
- The ship was moved less than a nautical mile offshore as the U.S. Coast Guard maintains a one‑nautical‑mile safety zone.
- A shelter‑in‑place order for San Pedro and Wilmington was lifted, but multiple terminals suspended operations and State Route 47 closures and other restrictions disrupted traffic.
