Earlier this week, a fire broke out in the container yard at the Westports terminal in Port Klang, Malaysia.

According to Westports Holdings, on 4 April at around 4.45 pm, the Port Police Control Centre (PPCC) received a call regarding a fire in the container yard.

Following the call, the PPCC called the Fire and Rescue Department (FRD) from Port Klang, who shortly after deployed two fire engines to combat the flames.

The fire was finally brought under control at around 3.00 am.
