Emergency repairs completed off Vizhinjam
The 'Sirrah', which had originally set off from Chennai with 26 crew members on board, encountered technical issues and was forced to anchor about seven nautical miles from Vizhinjam port. After emergency repairs, the ship managed to set sail just hours before the Coast Guard’s deadline on May 12, 2025, and departed for Khorfakkan at 2.30 a.m. with an ETA as of May 21. The departure was made possible after a critical 900-kg engine compressor was sourced from Mumbai and delivered with the support of Waterline Shipping & Logistics Pvt. Ltd., a Thiruvananthapuram-based shipping agency, in coordination with the Kerala Maritime Board. The ship’s owners acted swiftly to procure the required spare parts, but due to the prevailing war-like situation, the transport vehicle carrying the equipment was delayed at multiple checkpoints for security inspections. Once cleared by Customs, the spare parts were ferried to the vessel aboard the tug 'Dhwani', operated by the Kerala Maritime Board. Earlier, the Indian Coast Guard had inspected the vessel and found no suspicious items or hazardous cargo on board. They instructed the captain to move the ship within two days in light of Operation Sindoor.
