At the origin of the drama? Freon, this polluting gas banned because of its effects on global warming. The tank exploded when the shipowner was carrying out repairs on the boat, OBS sources report.

Indeed, for several years, fishing boats have set their sights on freon to the detriment of ammonia for freezing fish on the open sea. And, it was around 9:10 a.m. that an explosion followed by a fire on board a ship was reported to Môle 10 of the Port of Dakar.
