the historic ferry The Gran Canarian palms of the company Trasmediterranea – Naviera Armas this afternoon suffered an outbreak of fire in an auxiliary engine when it was docked in the port of Al Hoceima, in Morocco, without passengers on board. The crew itself was able to extinguish the fire with their own means. This ship covered the route between Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and Santa Cruz de Tenerife for years before the company decided to move it to the southern coast of the Peninsula.

The ship had arrived at around five in the afternoon, Canary Islands time, at the Moroccan dock from Motril in Almería. After the passengers and vehicles disembarked from the ferry, a fire started in the auxiliary engine that the workers themselves were able to put out with the means they have. Even so, the firefighters went to the ship to inspect the area affected by the flames, according to the sources consulted.
