Container fire hits EVER LENIENT docked at PSA Pasir Panjang Terminal

The SCDF led containment of container fire whilst port operations remain unaffected.

A fire involving containers on board the London-registered container vessel EVER LENIENT at PSA Pasir Panjang Terminal, Singapore, has been extinguished following firefighting operations that continued through the night, according to the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA).

The port authority said it was alerted on 10 April 2026 at about 3 p.m. whilst the vessel was berthed at the terminal. All crew members have been accounted for. No injuries and no oil pollution have been reported.

The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) led firefighting operations, with support from PSA Singapore and MPA.

SCDF continued cooling operations after extinguishing the fire to remove residual heat. MPA deployed three patrol craft to the site. SCDF and MPA used drones and patrol craft to support aerial surveillance and establish a seaward cordon during the operations.

PSA Singapore is assisting with the discharge of the affected containers.

MPA said safety measures remain in place at the berth and that port operations at Pasir Panjang Terminal have not been affected.

The cause of the fire remains under investigation. Further updates will follow if significant developments occur.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
