On January 5, 2025, a Marshall Islands-registered cargo ship named PANORIA caught fire about 23 nautical miles southwest of Eluanbi, Taiwan. The fire broke out in the engine room at around 5 p.m., with the 21 crew members aboard sending out a distress signal via radio. The ship lost power due to the fire but the crew managed to contain and extinguish the blaze. However, four crew members suffered varying degrees of burns, with one sustaining serious injuries.
Given the dangerous weather conditions, including waves reaching 3-4 meters in height, and the difficulty in connecting rescue vessels, the Ministry of National Defense dispatched a search and rescue aircraft. By around 7 p.m., the helicopter managed to airlift the injured crew members to Xiaogang Airport for medical treatment. The incident prompted the Coast Guard Administration (CGA) to continue monitoring the situation while the Maritime and Port Bureau’s Southern Maritime Affairs Center sent a tugboat for further assistance.
While the fire was controlled and the crew rescued, the potential loss to the cargo ship could be considerable. Preliminary assessments suggest damages could reach millions of dollars, depending on the fire’s impact on the ship’s machinery and any cargo lost during the incident.
