Chinese maritime vessels put out a fire of a Cambodia-registered cargo
ship anchoring at the Pearl River mouth in south China.

The Guangzhou Maritime Bureau received a report at 11:08 a.m. Saturday
that a fire broke out on a Cambodia-registered cargo ship when workers
were doing repair work in its dining hall. The vessel had 15 crew and
37 repair workers aboard.

After contacting the crew, the vessels dispatched by the bureau helped
transfer 13 crew and 37 workers to nearby anchored ships. The captain
and another crew member stayed on the vessel to report fire
situation.

The fire was put out at 1:45 p.m. by several vessels of the bureau.

No casualties were reported. The cause of the fire is still being
investigated.
