Customer Advisory: Fire Incident on Vessel One Henry Hudson at Port of LA

November 26, 2025

On Friday evening, November 21, a fire broke out while the containership One Henry Hudson was moored at the Port of Los Angeles.

The fire, which occurred below deck, prompted a coordinated response involving nearly 200 personnel from various agencies, including the local fire departments, U.S. Coast Guard, L.A. Port Police, and the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services. All 23 crew members were safely evacuated without injuries.

Following the fire, a mid-ship explosion later Friday night caused a power outage on the vessel. The vessel was undocked and moved a mile offshore, where firefighting and salvage operations continued. Current operations are focused on monitoring and extinguishing hot spots in the containers. The U.S. Coast Guard is closely monitoring air quality and maintaining safety zones to ensure public safety.

While the incident temporarily disrupted port operations, the Port of Los Angeles has since resumed normal activities.

Please be advised that APL Logistics is closely monitoring the situation, and any affected customers will be contacted directly. If you have any questions, please get in touch with your APL Logistics representative.
