The Long Form Story: Mystery Ship Burns in the Arabian Sea with Undeclared Cargo and 157 Containers
On June 9, 2025, the Singapore-flagged cargo vessel MV Wan Hai 503 caught fire 78 nautical miles off Kerala’s coast, triggering one of the most challenging maritime firefighting operations in recent memory. For over five days, the ship, carrying hazardous and undeclared cargo, drifted perilously close to the Kerala shoreline, putting lives and the environment at risk. This Republic investigation uncovers the vessel’s perilous journey, the heroic rescue of its crew, mysterious missing containers, and the unresolved fate of four sailors. With exclusive visuals from the Indian Coast Guard and Navy, eyewitness accounts, and expert insights, this report raises critical questions about maritime safety, environmental hazards, and accountability in India’s busiest shipping corridors.
