3 Merchant Mariners Dead in Shipboard Atmospheric Incident [Okinawa, Japan – 09 November 2018]

Posted by admin on Nov 10, 2018 in Bulletins

MARITIME BULLETIN has published an account of an accident that claimed the lives of three merchant mariners yesterday at Okinawa, Japan (see link below) within a cargo hold of M/V APOLLO KITA.

Yet again, multiple lives have been lost owing to what appears to be an oxygen deficient atmosphere within a cargo space occupied with organic carriage. This time, once again, a cargo of logs.

When will this madness cease?
