A Dutch tanker has suffered a coronavirus outbreak among mainly vaccinated crew members, while three seafarers have been taken to hospital from a bulker in Brazil.
Twelve of 15 personnel on Vroon's 9,200-dwt bitumen carrier Iver Ambition (built 2009) have tested positive for Covid-19 in Conception Bay, Canada.
But the seafarers are experiencing mild symptoms, the shipowner said.
