A fire broke out on a vessel undergoing repair and welding work at a boatyard in Limassol on Tuesday midday. The emergency call was received at 12:03 pm, prompting a swift response from two fire engines dispatched from the Agios Ioannis Lochias Vasilis Krokos Fire Station. The vessel’s onboard fire suppression system was activated during the incident, helping to control the blaze.

Two workers inside the vessel were safely evacuated without injury. However, the fire and heat caused damage to the vessel’s electrical panel, potentially affecting its future operability. Authorities continue to assess the extent of the damage and the incident’s cause.
