The US Coast Guard worked with port partners to identify shipping containers with undeclared hazardous materials that led to a shipping container fire in the Port of Los Angeles – Long Beach, on March 4.

At approximately 8:20 p.m., on March 4, watchstanders at Coast Guard Sector Los Angeles-Long Beach received a report of a shipping container on fire that was to be loaded on a vessel sailing for China on March 10th.

The Los Angeles Fire Department extinguished the fire, but efforts were complicated because of the container not being marked as hazardous materials. The bill of lading for the container indicated that it carried “synthetic resins.” Further investigation revealed that it actually held used lithium-ion batteries, which are a regulated hazardous material.

USCG is now working with the responsible party, Customs and Border Protection, the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Administration, and the Port of Los Angeles to identify and inspect all their containers in the port.

In addition, the Coast Guard placed a hold on all containers from the shipper until they can prove that all of the shipments comply with safety regulations.

Undeclared hazardous materials pose a severe risk to the safety of cargo vessels, the ports, and first responders. Along with our federal, state, and local partners, the Coast Guard is dedicated to working with all shippers to ensure hazardous materials are properly marked and packaged for safe transportation

said Capt. Rebecca Ore, Captain of the Port and Commanding Officer of U.S. Coast Guard Sector Los Angeles – Long Beach.
