After several days of firefighting and vessel stability checks, the ONE Henry Hudson was moved from its anchorage back to the Port of Los Angeles following a cargo-hold fire that began on 21 November. Unified Command authorities — led by the U.S. Coast Guard and the port — authorized the transfer once the blaze was fully contained. The vessel arrived at the Yusen Terminal late on 26 November.

Firefighting teams escorted the ship during the relocation, and the Vincent Thomas Bridge was briefly closed to secure the transit route. Before the shift, longshore crews resecured all container lashings, and officers reverified vessel stability because hold No. 3 retained significant firefighting water.

With the ship now alongside, containers affected by the incident, together with units scheduled for original discharge, are set to be offloaded. Salvage personnel and longshore labor have started the next stage of operations. All hazardous materials remain safely contained on board, as does the accumulated firefighting water, which will be pumped ashore for treatment in the coming steps. Air-quality monitoring continues on the vessel and throughout port areas.

Nearly 200 firefighters responded to the initial alarm, which the crew reported as an electrical issue. A formal investigation into the cause is currently in progress. No injuries were reported, a notable outcome considering the scale of the emergency response.

It is expected that General Average will be declared.
