Burned Greek cargo ship towed to port of Houston

The fatal fire occurred on the "Aegean Wind" on December 24, 2009.  At the time of the fire, this Greek cargo ship was on its way to Houston, Texas carrying 37,000 tons of iron ore.  Read the initial V&B blog post on this incident. 

News agencies are now reporting that the cargo ship is being towed to the port of Houston for repairs.  We assume that the investigation as to the cause and origin of this ship fire will also take place in Houston.

The Houston, Texas law firm of Vujasinovic & Beckcom handles many cases for Jones Act seamen, including foreign sailors and seafarers who are involved in international offshore accidents (examples:  Filipino seaman case, Indian seaman case).  The V&B law firm also handles cases involving fires.
