The HMM-operated cargo vessel that caught fire while anchored in the Strait of Hormuz is running a backup generator and awaiting tow, the company said May 5. The HMM NAMU is holding in waters off the United Arab Emirates, where the blaze occurred the previous day. HMM said all 24 crewmembers, including South Korean seafarers, remain onboard and have not suffered any significant injuries from the fire. An HMM official said the crew could disembark immediately if they chose, but with the fire extinguished and no outstanding hazards reported, they appear to have decided to stay aboard. HMM plans to investigate the cause once the ship is under tow, but officials cautioned that towing procedures and transit schedules could delay the start of a formal probe by several days.
