A four-chamber flat storage warehouse of the Baltic Grain Terminal (BGT) has burnt down in the Gdynia port.

The fire broke out on the morning of 5 March and lasted several hours before the fire fighting brigades put it out not long before noon.

While the 30kt-big warehouse was destroyed, along with the equipment, the fire didn't spread onto adjacent facilities.

Most probably the fire was due to spontaneous combustion. A mix of soy and wheat was being stored when the incident occurred.

The four-chamber warehouse accounted for around 42% of BGT's storing capacity.
