A seafarer died from a suspected heart attack on a supramax bulker anchored off the port of Paradip in Odisha, India, on January 3.
According to local media, the post-mortem examination was delayed as officials waited for the 55,000-dwt Al Danah to berth, while the police informed that a probe would be ordered into the seafarer’s death if necessary.
Crew members discovered the body, while the captain informed the port authority.
The vessel had 23 crew members on board at the time, and had left Chittagong in Bangladesh last month, transporting cargo to Maharashtra.
