The 85 meter long, 3680 dwt freighter Anmiro caught fire while berthed in Hamburg, Germany.   The fire started in the cargo of 1500 tons of cellulose.   The crew requested assistance from the local fire department who dispatched 80 men to the scene.  Reports state the fire was difficult with cranes unloading cargo that had not caught fire first.   Fire fighters were able to contain the blaze to the hold only after flooding the hold with water.   No reports of injuries or pollution being released.
