Four lifeless persons found on the ship - one has died


By Esben Christensen -
April 28, 2015, 20:55 (Upd. Apr. 28, 2015, 21:09)



The police on Tuesday evening massively present in Hanstholm, after having found four lifeless bodies in the hold of a freighter.




The four were flown to hospitals in Hjørring and Aalborg, but one of them was not to save, and is now deceased. It informs Mid and West Jutland Police to TV 2nd

There are four poles, and the other three are still under investigation.

Is probably due to toxic gas
The freighter named Corina had pellets board, and although Central and West Jutland Police will not say anything definite about the cause of the accident, the presumption is that the pellets have developed something poisonous gas.

- There is certainly no reason to believe that a crime was committed, says head of security Anders Olesen.

The rest of the crew also hit
The rest of the crew of the ship was, according to Anders Olesen also affected by the alleged gas, but could even get off the boat and was not taken to the hospital. The four unconscious was in the hold and were loading pellets of.

Were sent a total of five ambulances and helicopters to the site, and all police in the area are also on site.

Besides the crew is also a port guard injured and is now under observation.

Default CORINA - Accident caused by CO-emissions from the cargo of wood pellets

Four crew members found lifeless




26-04-2015 08:00:00










Four Polish crew members were found lifeless aboard the freighter Corina flying the Polish flag in Hanstholm Harbour. The discovery was made during the unloading on Tuesday where they found the crew members unconscious in the hold filled with wood pellets.
"It is reasonable to believe that it is emissions from cargo that has caused this. There have also been incidents before where people have been found unconscious in enclosed spaces," says Anders Olsen, head of security at the Mid and West Jutland Police.

One crew member died, while the other three woke up in the hospital in Hjørring. A fifth member of the crew had saved himself from the hold.

WEA must now examine whether all rules have been complied with.

Sounds very similar to the incident at Goole onboard the "Suntis".

Default Follow up on M/S-Corina in Hanstholm

This text is written by Mr. Mike Schuler and published on g-Captain on 29th of April 2015...

One person has died and three others are being treated after losing consciousness aboard a cargo ship that had just docked at Denmark’s port of Hanstholm.
The four people, reported to be crewmembers of the ship, were found unconscious Tuesday evening in a confined area of the Polish-flagged MV Corina, which had just arrived in Hanstholm from Gdansk, Poland with a cargo of wood pellets. A fifth person is believed to have escaped the area.
Authorities suspect that the victims inhaled poisonous gasses, possibly carbon monoxide, from the wood pellet cargo.
The three injured are being treated at local hospitals.
It is unclear from reports if the crewmembers were in the cargo hold itself or in a confined space of the ship adjacent to the cargo hold.
Wood pellet cargoes are known to produce carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide, which can lead to a reduction in oxygen levels and the development of a dangerous concentration of carbon monoxide in closed spaces.
Wood pellets are listed in the International Maritime Solid Bulk Cargoes Code (IMSBC Code) as a hazardous “Group B” cargo.
The incident follows a similar accident earlier this month at the Port of Atwerp, where three longshoremen died after entering the cargo hold of a ship that was previously carrying a cargo of coal.

Default And another follow up on M/S-Corina in Hanstholm

This texr is translated by google….
It was written in Danish by Rasmus Walther Jensen, Berlingske Nyhedsbureau
29. april 2015, 10:04 and published same day in the Danish newspaper Berlingske Tidende

WEA study of the Polish freighter in the port of Hanstholm show that too much carbon monoxide in the hold was to blame for that one man died and three fainted.
Since Tuesday evening WEA studied why four crew members lost consciousness in the hold of the Polish freighter Corina, who arrived Hansthom Harbour earlier in the day.
The results suggest that the four polish sailors have inhaled carbon monoxide during their work in the hold, which was filled with wood pellets.
"We have in connection with our inquiries into the incident found that there has been too high concentrations of carbon monoxide gas from the cargo hold, which likely caused the accident," said WEA supervision chief, Thomas Nygaard Christensen, in a press release.
Three of the four crew members woke up in the hospital in Hjørring late Tuesday evening and Wednesday morning announced Mid and West Jutland Police them out of danger. The fourth crew member was pronounced dead at the harbour Tuesday evening.
WEA has refused to stay in the hold and below the ship's deck until it can be guaranteed for safety.
"We have last night (Tuesday night, Ed.) issued an injunction against people staying in the hold or below the ship's deck, to the Polish company that operates the cargo ship. It is crucial to ensure that the content of oxygen is safe, and that there are no toxic gases in the air before persons goes down below the ship's deck, and before the work resumes, "says Thomas Nygaard Christensen
