Cargo liquefaction has claimed more than 100 seafarers' lives over the past decade, according to figures produced by dry bulk industry association Intercargo.
Its latest Benchmarking Report highlights that 101 seafarers died in liquefaction losses in the decade between 2007 and 2016.
However, its figures do not include the loss of the 57,000-dwt Emerald Star (built 2010) in 2017 — a year beyond the scope of the report — in which a further 10 lives were lost, bringing the total death toll to 111 over the past 11 years.
