Fire on ship after maintenance
The 'Cheriyam', which was docked at the private Vypin Shipyard Ltd. in Azeekkal (Kochi), opposite the International Container Transhipment Terminal, has caught fire on June 22, 2026. The vessel had been undergoing maintenance and had carried out a trial run on June 21. Fire and rescue units from multiple stations in Ernakulam district were deployed to the yard in Kalamukku, Vypeen. Local residents had first noticed flames and smoke near the engine section of the vessel at around 4 a.m. The fire broke out when no repair work was being carried out on the vessel. The flames spread rapidly from the engine room to the upper section. Since 4.30 a.m., multiple units from various fire stations have been deployed to the yard. All crew members and maintenance workers associated with the vessel were accounted for. The firefighters have not yet been able to enter the vessel and attemped to douse the flames by pumping water from outside. Efforts were also underway to prevent the blaze from spreading to other nearby vessels anchored. Fire and rescue personnel from several stations, including Vypin Club Road, remained at the scene. The Kerala Police and Coast Guard personnel were monitoring the situation and coordinating security arrangements at the site. According to preliminary assessment, the fire may have been caused by an electrical short circuit. The private shipyard has been operating without a panchayat licence or approval from the Pollution Control Board.
