This is the shocking moment an explosion ripped through a container ship in China.

One of the containers on the bow of the cargo ship YM MOBILITY 079W, docked at Beilun Port Terminal in Zhoushan Port, suddenly blew apart, causing a massive mushroom cloud and scattering debris in Ningbo, Zhejiang, on August 9.

Footage shows a huge fire on the vessel with smoke billowing into the air. Moments later, it emitted a loud and powerful blast, destroying some of the nearby shipping crates.

Firefighters were immediately alerted and extinguished the fire.

No casualties have been reported from the incident.

According to a local source, the explosion was caused by a peroxide reaction. Due to the hot weather conditions, the chemical decomposed and resulted in the explosion.
