Nineteen ship crew members of Maersk Line, said to be the largest container shipping company, were brought to Kochi late on Thursday night for first aid after a suspected fire accident on board. Except four, the rest have been moved to a hotel. They would be sent home as soon as documentation is over. A tug from the Cochin Port had been sent to the deep sea to bring to shore all the crew members on board the ship.
