Fire crews remain on the scene conducting atmospheric testing
There has been a second chemical leak aboard a container ship docked at the Port of Brisbane.
Authorities evacuated the ship early today and removed a leaking container before any of the zinc dithiophosphate could leak into the water.
But in the process of moving it, crews noticed a second container loaded with organic phosphate was releasing fumes.
“Upon investigation, firefighters found a spill inside the second container,” the Queensland Department of Community Safety.
The spill from the first container has been contained, and the second has been resealed and will soon be moved.
Fire crews remain on the scene conducting atmospheric testing and ensuring the site is safe.
