DEATHS OF THREE CREW MEMBERS.

After leaving Frederikshavn on 21st. May, and following stops in Riga and Gdynia, Suntis docked in Goole on 24th. May 2014 with a crew of five.

Humberside Police were called to the docks at 7 a.m. on 26th. May by the ambulance service in relation to three crew members, Gerd Jescheniak, 60, Ferrer Punongayan, 33, and Jonathan Sanosa, 33, who were found unconscious in the main cargo hold forward access compartment. The men were recovered from the compartment

and were taken to Hull Royal Infirmary, but despite intensive resuscitation efforts they did not survive.

Two Goole dock workers who helped the three men after being alerted by another crew member were also taken to hospital as a precautionary measure but were later released.

The three men who died were suffocated as a result of lack of oxygen in the cargo hold. Measurements in the hold had shown a very low oxygen content. The ship was fully loaded with sawn timber that had been taken aboard in Riga and Gdynia. Because the wood was wet it is likely that the timber caused the deprivation of oxygen in the cargo hold and access compartments, which should have been entered only with appropriate measuring instruments.

Suntis arrived in Brunsbüttel on the morning of 2nd. June with a replacement crew after the authorities in Goole had released the ship on 31st. May after not finding any deficiencies aboard.
