On the 16th, the material storage area of a large cruise ship "Asuka 2" that was anchored in Yokohama Port was burnt, and it was revealed that welding work was being performed nearby at the time, and the Coast Guard and other departments produced sparks from welding. I'm investigating that it may have been caused by.
On the 16th, there was a fire at the material storage area at the top of the deck of the large-scale cruise ship "Asuka 2" that was moored at Yokohama Port, and the fire was extinguished approximately three and a half hours later, and no one was injured.
On the 17th, the Yokohama Coast Guard and the fire department jointly conducted on-site verification.
According to the shipping company, the material storage area is about 40 square meters, and the carpets and curtains that were inside were burned.
According to the investigations so far, welding work was being performed near the material storage site at that time, so it is possible that the maritime security department etc. was caused by the sparks generated during welding, We are investigating the detailed situation by listening to the crew.
