On July 28, 2024, at approximately 4.20 p.m. the ICG Maritime Rescue Coordination Centre (MRCC), Mumbai, received a distress alert from the 'Limra', which had suffered major fire in the engine room at 2.53 p.m., which resulted in a total power and propulsion failure. The vessel was en route from Chittagong to Khor Fakkan with 21 crew members on board, among them 18 Indian nationals, one Ukrainian, one Sri Lankan, and one Pakistani national. The crew successfully contained the fire; however, the 36-year-old Sri Lankan engineer was reported missing during the firefighting efforts. On locating the crew member his vitals were found to be critical. The crew administered basic aid and requested urgent medical evacuation. The ICG dispatched the patrol vessel 'Abhinav' to the tanker. Additionally, an Advanced Light Helicopter (ALH) equipped for medical emergencies was launched from Kochi at 6 p.m. The patient was evacuated and brought to Kochi at 7.42 p.m. and transported to the Aster Medcity Hospital.
