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?
