Currently, no casualties or injuries have been reported.
The explosion occurred on the bow of a container
ship named YM Mobility, owned by Yang Ming Marine Transport Corporation,
causing flames and heavy smoke. An aerial photo posted by the broadcaster
showed black smoke rising from a stack of containers at one end of the ship and
from an area on the dock. The rest of the ship and its containers appeared
undamaged.
The Zhejiang Province Emergency Management Administration said the ship
was loaded with Class 5 hazardous materials, but it didn't say what they were.
An investigation is underway.
