Korean Coast Guard ships and helicopters were dispatched to the vessel, which was found engulfed in fire. The 16 crew members, among them three Koreans and 13 Indonesians, were evacuated. Three of them were delivered to a hospital with burns, the rest was safe. The vessel which was loaded with nitric acid and sulfuric acid was listing to port side, some tanks were already breached, with sea water coming into reaction with acid."Note: So this was another fire involving nitric acid. I've warned about this problem with previous nitric acid fires and explosions. Nitric acid is non-flammable itself, but it is explosively flammable if any nitric acid comes into contact with gaseous hydrogen sulfide. So if a nitric acid container should not be completely sealed and some hydrogen sulfide blows by then there is apt to be a fire and/or explosion. A cargo ship carrying nitric acid, 'Hayang Ace', exploded while moored near Ulsan in January too, injuring 4 people, mentioned in the 2015-01-11 update, so this makes two big ships carrying nitric acid devastated by fires/explosions in just over two months.

At the time of an accident there were 14 crew on board, four of whom were injured in the blast and resulting gas leak."Note: I've mentioned the nitric acid problem before with other nitric acid explosions at schools, universities, factories, metal businesses, etc. Hydrogen sulfide gas is explosively reactive with nitric acid. If any hydrogen sulfide gas blows over any exposed nitric acid then you're apt to see a fire or an explosion or both. Normally nitric acid is no great threat unless you touch it, but nowadays, as the atmosphere is increasingly contaminated with hydrogen sulfide, it's a growing explosion and fire threat. Because it's sometimes found and used in school science classes, a number of fires/explosions involving nitric acid in classrooms have burned and injured students around the world in recent times...2015-01-11 -
