Container explosion onboard Taiwanese-Owned YM Mobility

A container exploded on 9 August onboard Taiwanese Yang Ming-owned YM Mobility, at a box terminal in the Beilun Port area of Ningbo-Zhoushan. There are no reports of casualties or injuries to date.

News outlets on Chinese social media platform Weibo said the container held refrigerated organic peroxides, a reactive chemical which is highly combustible and liable to exothermic decomposition, which causes heat that rises as the outside temperature increases.
