A serious incident unfolded on the evening of September 22, 2016, when ammonia from the cooling system of the cargo vessel 'Pharostar' leaked into the ship's cargo holds. The 'Pharostar' had been docked at Bangkok Central Port since September 19. As dockworkers attempted to offload a shipment of frozen fish, six individuals were affected by the toxic exposure and subsequently required hospitalization. One dockworker tragically fell into a coma due to the severity of the poisoning. The local authorities were notified of the situation at 7:30 p.m. and promptly responded to the crisis.
