Alert issued after engineer dies

摘要

Commercial shipping has been alerted to a ship system flaw that led to the death of an engineer on board the coal carrier Nireas offGladstone, Australia, last year. Similar flawed air receiver drainage-pot systems are still installed or fitted in ships by various shipyards around the world, The Australian Safety Transport Bureau (ATSB) has warned. The ATSB report on the Nireas incident released in early March found that the flaw was the cause of death and that other lives could be at risk.
