Firefighters and personnel have been fighting fire all night, and it is still not under control, but it is thought to be confined. A strong wind blowing up flames impeded firefighting to such a degree that the deployed tugs attempted to keep the ship in the best fighting posture possible. A fire has broken out in the fore cargo hold or holds.
