Significant column of black/dark smoke rising from the area. 
I'm assuming some form of fuel is burning due to the darkness of the smoke?
Video circulating social media showing the fire, appears to be coming from some of the damaged warehouses during the port explosion.
From reports, it appears to be a fuel and tyre's being burnt.
