On 4 April 2017 a fire broke out in one of the containers onboard of MSC Daniela while the ship was on route from Singapore to the Suez Canal.^[2] After the fire was put out the remaining containers were offloaded in the port of Colombo. ^[3] On 22 May she arrived in Shanghai for repairs that were initially expected to only take around three weeks. Eventually it would be almost eleven weeks before she could enter into service again, four months after the initial fire broke out. ^[4]
