A fire on an Angelicoussis bulker off the coast of Brazil has left the vessel’s captain dead, Greece’s coastguards said in a statement on Friday.
There were no other injuries or environmental damage.
The blaze broke out in the early morning hours on the 276,600-dwt Ore Sudbury's (built 1991) third accommodation deck. It was extinguished by the crew.
However, the 40-year-old captain was retrieved unconscious, the statement said.
