(Reuters) - A train derailment shut down the Port of Tampa in Florida on Thursday morning after several cars leaked ethanol, according to a report by NBC News.
Officials at the port were not immediately available for comment.
Tampa Fire Rescue officials told a local NBC affiliate 15 train cars derailed and three spilled ethanol.
Hazmat crews responded to the derailment around 1 a.m. local time, which caused no reported injuries, the report said.
The cleanup may take longer than 24 hours, the report said.
