Crew Reviews, Ratings & Info for Blue-Phoenix

In the early hours of November 7, 2025, a significant fire erupted aboard the vessel 'Blue Phoenix' while it was docked at the Permaducto piers in Villa Allende, Coatzacoalcos. This incident necessitated an immediate response from the local tugs, 'Azteca' and 'México,' which employed their water pumps to quell the flames and safeguard surrounding areas from the spreading fire. Additionally, Coatzacoalcos Civil Protection and Fire Department personnel joined the efforts, battling the blaze for several hours amid billowing smoke that affected nearby neighborhoods, including Pescadores, Centro, and Escolleras. Firefighters managed to gain control of the situation by around 2:00 a.m. on November 8, prompting a temporary closure of the port to all navigation. However, just moments later, the fire reignited, leading to intensified firefighting initiatives where specialists boarded the vessel to extinguish the remaining flames. Fortunately, only two individuals sustained minor burns during the ordeal, while the cause of the fire remains under investigation. Unofficial sources suggest that the initial blaze began in the wheelhouse and gradually spread throughout the ship. The Blue Phoenix had been docked at the Permaducto pier since its arrival in Coatzacoalcos in early August, coinciding with a logistical bottleneck at the Pajaritos terminal, where the Cuban m/v 'Ocean Mariner,' which arrived on October 27, remained anchored and unable to refuel due to the fire emergency.
