After undergoing extensive repairs following a fire incident near Puna Island on November 20, 2017, the vessel 'Vera' has successfully completed its restoration. The ship was towed back to the Contcon Dock in Guayaquil on November 21 to address the damages.

The supply vessel 'Vera' made headlines this week during its inaugural journey to the Galapagos Islands after experiencing a fire incident. The vessel set sail from Guayaquil, having loaded a significant cargo from the municipal dock of Caraguay, including 202 twenty-foot containers, 26 forty-foot containers, additional loose merchandise, and eight vehicles. This mission became crucial as it was intended to compensate for the 'Baltic Betina,' which was hindered by crane damages and unable to fulfill its delivery. On November 20, 2017, while navigating near Puná Island, the 'Vera' reported a fire emergency, prompting immediate towing assistance back to Guayaquil. It safely docked at Contacon on the afternoon of November 21. The unfortunate fire delay put an unexpected hold on 3,000 tons of cargo destined for the Galapagos, triggering the activation of an emergency contingency plan. Transnave, the operator of the 'Vera,' promptly dispatched a technician to assess the situation and gauge the extent of the damage. In light of the circumstances, alternative vessels 'Orca' and 'BAE Calicuchima' are on standby to transport urgent supplies, including perishable food items and LPG cylinders, to ensure the Galapagos Islands receive essential goods without further delay.
