Late word coming to Blueoceana Company from the Indian State of Andhra Pradesh, provides that two cargo superintendents lost their lives during the loading of a vessel at Gangavaram Port in the early morning hours of 17 August 2018.

Reports indicate that B V Ramaraju and K Mohan Rao were engaged in the loading of a vessel at Berth 3, when a shoreside “heap of coal” collapsed upon them causing their crushing and subsequent suffocation.

Approximately one year ago, we understand that two Filipino crew members suffered the same fate; at the same facility.
