Iranian media reported on Tuesday (May 5, 2026) that a fire broke out in several commercial ships docked at Dayyer Port in southern Iran, amid intensive efforts by firefighting teams to control the blaze and prevent its spread.

According to the sources, the fire erupted suddenly, with no immediate reports of human casualties, noting that emergency teams are working to contain the fire under complex field conditions, particularly due to the presence of flammable materials on board some ships.

Dayyer Port is considered one of the important local ports in Bushehr Province overlooking the Gulf, used for cargo transport and regional commercial activities, raising concerns about the incident's impact on navigation and trade movement in the region.

Previous reports indicate that some southern ports have witnessed sporadic incidents in recent years related to the storage of oil and petrochemical materials, which may contribute to increased fire risks, especially amid rising temperatures and weak safety standards in some locations.
