A container on a ship at the UAE port caught fire on Wednesday, the port authority said on Wednesday. The fire was put out within 40 minutes.
"Prudent action ensured that operations were not affected in any way due to the incident, which occurred in the older Terminal 1, used for small ships," the port authority said in the statement.
