A FIRE broke out at Singapore Technologies Marine's shipyard in Tuas Road last night.

A 60m-long fishing vessel, the Pacific Princess, was ablaze for more than 40 minutes before the fire was brought under control.

A guard at a nearby factory in Tuas Basin Link, who wanted to be known only as Mr Tan, said he saw the fire from afar, blazing up to two storeys high. No one was injured in the incident. The SCDF is investigating the cause of the fire.
