Fire off La Paz Bay
A fire broke out aboard the "Hari Gyan" on July 6, 2026, at 12.42 p.m. in Baja California Sur. It triggered emergency protocols and mobilised maritime authorities off the coast of La Paz Bay after a fire was reported at the vessel's stern. It was remarked by REMAFE personnel conducting surveillance patrols in the bay. Following the alert, maritime authorities coordinated the deployment of the tug "Tláloc", specialised in firefighting support, while maintaining communication with the ship's captain and activating preventive protocols Preliminary investigations indicated that the fire started during a crew maneuver, when friction caused one of the mooring lines to spontaneously catch fire. The tanker's captain reported that the incident was unrelated to hydrocarbons, thereby ruling out any risk of explosion stemming from the vessel's cargo. By the time the tug arrived at the scene, the crew had already brought the fire under control, making the use of specialised firefighting equipment unnecessary. Subsequently, personnel from REMAFE and the Federal Attorney for Environmental Protection (PROFEPA) inspected the area around the vessel, but found no evidence of marine pollution or spills associated with the incident. Although the emergency was resolved without injuries or environmental damage, the Port Authority has initiated an inspection of the "Hari Gyan" and launched the corresponding administrative proceedings to determine the cause of the incident and verify the vessel's safety conditions.
