Damietta Port Chief on Liquefied Gas Fire
The head of the Damietta Port Authority, Major General Tarek Adly Abdel Allah, revealed details about the handling of a fire that broke out onboard a gasification vessel at the port. A quick decision was made to tow the vessel out of the port to prevent the fire from spreading, thanks to a small but professional team that succeeded in towing it 3.5 kilometers away. The vessel's condition was then assessed by experts in collaboration with the Ministry of Petroleum. He explained that the fire was initially contained and that professional procedures contributed to protecting the port and its facilities. He also confirmed that the port has undergone extensive expansions to increase its area to 35 square kilometers, with 30 berths stretching over 9 kilometers. The port is under meticulous monitoring to ensure operational safety. Last year, the port recorded a record trade volume of 46.4 million tons of cargo, reflecting high efficiency and continuous development.
