Working Conditions Aboard the Msc-Kymea-Ii

On May 24, 2026, a grave incident unfolded aboard the MSC Kymea II as a crew member tragically lost his life while the vessel was navigating towards Chattogram. The ship's Protection and Indemnity (P&I) Club has been notified regarding this unfortunate occurrence, and local representatives, Interport Maritime Ltd., have initiated a preliminary investigation. The incident occurred around 7:45 a.m. when the crew member began experiencing severe breathing difficulties approximately 200 nautical miles off the coast of Chattogram. Despite being conscious, the situation deteriorated rapidly after the master of the ship arranged for an emergency medical evacuation. Unfortunately, the bosun succumbed to his health crisis by 9 a.m., with initial assessments indicating sudden heart failure as the likely cause of death. Following the incident, the MSC Kymea II successfully docked in Chattogram on May 27, where local authorities coordinated with law enforcement to manage the essential procedures for body evacuation and other legal requirements in the aftermath of this tragic loss.
