A Saga Welco-operated bulker has been cleared to continue its voyage in Uruguay after the death of its first officer was found to be the result of a heart attack.
The 55,800-dwt open-hatch vessel Saga Faith (built 2019) had contacted authorities in the South American country earlier in April after the officer developed respiratory problems and fell unconscious, prompting fears of Covid-19 cases on the ship while it was at Montevideo.
