A cargo ship, flying the Singaporean flag, caught fire off the coast of India near Kerala in early June 2025. The blaze was substantial, resulting in the projection of containers. A swift response from the Indian coast guard, deploying a plane and a destroyer, ensured the safe rescue of all 24 crew members. "The situation was critical," stated a coast guard official, "but thanks to our quick response, we were able to prevent a major disaster." The incident highlights ongoing challenges in maritime safety and the potential for environmental damage from such events. The successful rescue serves as a positive note in an otherwise concerning situation.
