Information coming to Blueoceana Company reveals that earlier today, during loading operations aboard what is believed to be the Hong Kong-flagged M/V TIMBER 6, a twenty foot tank container loaded with 20+ tons of Chlorine gas became disengaged from the hook of a mobile harbor crane and plunged to the deck and then to the dock below.

The tank ripped open, allowing the poison gas to spread quickly. At least thirteen dock workers were killed, many more were injured…. and extreme warnings were offered to all individuals in the nearby vicinity of the port.
