One hundred sixty firefighters, twenty-three fire trucks, and three fire units were battling the fire, which was extinguished at 6:00 AM local time on February 24.

As reported, the fire started aboard a fishing vessel during welding operations. Due to strong winds, it spread quickly to other ships anchored at the port.
