Ship on fire in Antwerp
On July 16, 2025, at 11.15 a.m. fire broke out in the cargo hold of the 'FWN Adriatic' in the 5th dock of the port of Antwerp near the Noordkasteel Bridge. The ship was carrying plasterboard and vehicles as cargo. The fire initially caused heavy smoke, advising local residents to keep their doors and windows closed. The fire department started extinguishing the fire from the quay, and a port fireboat was also present. After the fire fighters managed to close the ship's hatches, the smoke decreased significantly. The hold was to be flooded with CO2. The fire fighting was expected to take several hours. The Port of Antwerp-Bruges was urging shipping traffic to exercise extreme caution in the waterway from 5th Haven Dock km 1 to Amerika Dock km 1, as well as for berths 345 to berth 347. The cause of the fire was not yet known. The ship had arrived from Eemshaven.
