Docker - unable to build image - fork/exec docker-containerd-shim: no such file or directory

Question

I have docker installed on RHEL 7.3. When I try & build the images for services using java as base image it builds them successfully.

But when I try & build my UI image using node:boron as base image, it fails saying :

fork/exec docker-containerd-shim: no such file or directory

Please help me with this. I have tried restarting the docker daemon & other such workarounds mentioned on web, but no luck.

DockerFile

FROM node:boron

# Create app directory
RUN mkdir -p /usr/src/app/sales
WORKDIR /usr/src/app/sales

# Install app dependencies
COPY package.json /usr/src/app/sales
RUN npm install

# Bundle app source
COPY . /usr/src/app/sales

EXPOSE 8182
CMD [ "npm", "start" ]

We use fabric.io docker-maven-plugin to build images:
