What Crew Members Say About Astral

In a heartbreaking turn of events, the tanker Seatrust experienced a medical emergency while navigating the Atlantic on July 18, 2020. The vessel was en route from Cartagena to Corpus Christi when it suddenly altered its course towards Bermuda to seek urgent medical help for one of its crew members who had suffered a heart attack. Despite the crew's best efforts, the individual tragically passed away on July 19, just hours before the Seatrust docked in Bermuda. After the body was respectfully transferred to the port, the tanker continued on its journey the same day, as the maritime community mourned the loss of a fellow mariner.
