A container ship is burning of the coast of Vancouver !

The vessel involved is the same ship that lost around 40 shipping containers 12 nautical miles off the west coast of Vancouver Island, near Bamfield, on Friday after it encountered rough seas.
The fire began inside some damaged containers onboard the vessel.
"This is extremely concerning. The ship and containers are very close to Victoria, BC, and a big storm is forecast to hit tonight. We ... are worried this may be yet another environmental disaster," said David Boudinot, president of Surfrider Foundation Canada, an environmental organization.
At around 6:30 p.m. Saturday six containers were on fire and that more 52,080 kilograms of potassium amylxanthate were stored inside two of the six containers.
Potassium amylxanthate is a compound that is often used in the mining industry as a mineral processing agent, according to the U.S. National Center for Biotechnology Information.
The Canadian Coast Guard says a total of 10 containers are on fire as of 11 p.m. Saturday and that the blaze continues to spread, but that the ship itself is not on fire.
They also say that 16 out of 21 total crew members have been evacuated from the ship and the remaining five will stay onboard overnight to help fight the fire.

two of the containers were carrying around 57 tons of xanthates, a chemical often used in mining.
A notice on the Canadian Coast Guard’s Navigational Warnings website said the fire was "expelling toxic gas."
An emergency zone has been established at Constance Bank within 1 mile of the anchored container ship Zim Kingston in the vicinity of 48 20.083N 123 21.800W. The ship is on fire and expelling toxic gas. Two fallen containers are floating in the vicinity of the vessel.

Unlikely unless leaking heavy toxic cargo. Regular goods? Insurance is paid out 30 mins after the cargo hits the water
