A renewed wave of Covid-19 infections is taking its toll on seafarers worldwide, with two outbreaks reported on vessels in Norway and Vietnam.
A Filipino seafarer from the 62,700-dwt ultramax IVS Pebble Beach (built 2020), controlled by Nisshin Shipping, has died in Narvik, Norway, but the cause of death has not been established.
Fifteen other Filipino colleagues on board have tested positive for Covid-19, and the other two crew members reported symptoms.
