Two South Korean stevedores have died in a possible gas asphyxiation incident on a Greek bulker.

Franco Naviera, the Athens-based operator of the 53,500-dwt Eny (built 2006), told TradeWinds that the men lost consciousness and later died following the arrival of the ship at Bukpyung in South Korea for discharging operations.

The vessel had arrived from Rizhao in China.
