Mariam Star of not cooperating with the port’s efforts to turn off the
fire on board the ship. Eng. Ali Omar Muhammad said that they made a
bold decision to bring the ship close to the port so they could save
merchandise belonging to Somaliland’s businessmen, and they succeeded in
unloading 60 motor vehicles as well as goods. He also said that although
they were able to limit the fire to the upper floor, they could not
extinguish it.
Eng. Ali Omar Muhammad thanked TOTAL company for their tremendous help
in the efforts to the fire fighting efforts.
