A commercial ship, Merchant Vessel Daniela, caught fire off the Colombo coast early today morning. The fire was soon brought under control, with Indian Coast Guard Ship Shoor helping with fire-fighting operations. The fire was reported when MV Daniela was 30 miles off the Sri Lankan coast. The Sri Lankan Navy too was involved in dousing the fire, and Shoor was sent for help after the Lankan government requested assistance.
