Flash fire onboard tanker kills seven workers at Keppel yard.
(From Lloyds List)
Byline: Marcus Hand in Singapore
SEVEN workers died in a flash fire while repairing a tanker at Keppel Shipyard at the weekend.
The fire, the yard's worst ever accident, broke out on Saturday at 1300 hrs in the No 3 starboard tank of the Portuguese-registered 132,000 dwt tanker Almudaina, under repair at the yard.
The blast was so powerful that one of the workers was thrown out of the tanker and onto the deck, his body ablaze. Despite attempts to save him, he died an hour later.
The bodies of six other workers were recovered from inside the cargo tank, and according to local reports they had been burned beyond recognition.
Five of the deceased workers were Indian nationals and the other two Malaysians. All seven workers were subcontracted from Wah Soon Marine.
