Working Conditions Aboard the Feng-Hui-Hai

On April 23, a tragic incident unfolded aboard the 'Feng Hui Ha' vessel, resulting in the deaths of two Chinese sailors off the coast of Navlakhi port, located in Morbi, Gujarat. The two deceased have been identified as Zhang Baohai and Dong Kui, with a third crew member, Sun Yingdong, currently in critical condition and receiving medical care at Jamnagar Civil Hospital. The circumstances surrounding the gas leak that led to this unfortunate incident are still under investigation. The 'Feng Hui Ha' vessel made its arrival at Navlakhi on April 29.

On April 22, 2018, a distressing incident unfolded aboard the bulk carrier Feng Hui Hai, as three Chinese crew members were evacuated due to symptoms of gas poisoning. The vessel, which had entered the Gulf of Kutch from the Muara Pantai Offshore Coal Terminal with a load of coal, was anchored near Jamnagar port in Gujarat, India. The emergency response team used a tug to transfer the affected crew to the hospital in Jamnagar, where, sadly, two of the crew members were pronounced dead upon arrival. The lone survivor was treated for coal gas poisoning but fortunately managed to recover. Authorities later confirmed that the fatalities were a result of coal gas exposure. It was reported that the tragic sequence of events began when one crew member entered a cargo hold and was affected by the toxic gas, prompting two others to follow in an attempt to assist him, leading to their own poisoning. This unfortunate incident serves as a stark reminder of the dangers associated with handling coal and the importance of safety protocols aboard maritime vessels.
