Fire at the Kanonersky Ship Repair Plant

On April 15, 2019, at 7:30 AM Moscow time, a fire was detected in a hangar at the Kanonersky Ship Repair Yard (berth No. 4, coastal zone).

The crews of our vessels (VITYAZ, PALLADA, NAVARIN, OT-2080) stationed at the yard immediately reported the incident to the fire department dispatcher and deployed a fire suppression post. The crews were on standby to extinguish the fire.

The crew of the tugboat VITYAZ participated in extinguishing the fire (using the ship’s fixed foam fire extinguishing system). The crews of the remaining vessels of Morvenna Ship Repair Yard, after assessing the situation and the arrival of shore-based fire brigades, cancelled their standby for firefighting. Firefighting equipment has been placed in its designated locations. There were no injuries on the company’s vessels, and no damage to ship property was reported. And the ships are operating normally.
