In the event of a fire in a container, it is generally not recommended to jettison (throw overboard) the container. Instead, appropriate fire-fighting measures should be taken to extinguish the fire or prevent its spread. Jettisoning containers can pose risks to navigation, the environment, and other vessels in the vicinity. It is important to follow proper emergency procedures and consult relevant guidelines and regulations for handling fires on board ships and in containers.
