Explosion on board Russian coaster

摘要

The death toll was thought to be ten after an explosion and fire on the Russian coaster Enisey (1988/l,497gt) in a ship repair yard in Baltiysk, Russia. In early June Enisey was undergoing repairs at a Naval Ship repair yard when an explosion in her aft tank occurred during welding work. Naval salvage teams fought the fire, which took over eight hours to extinguish. A search for survivors then began. Enisey is owned by Joint Stock Shipping Co of St Petersburg.
