LE HAVRE – Three seafarers have died of food poisoning on an oil tanker traversing the Channel between Britain and Europe, French maritime authorities said Wednesday.
The captain of the Marshall Islands-flagged Arionas reported the deaths overnight, French officials said, adding that the source of the food poisoning was not known.
The names of the victims were not immediately disclosed.
The 183-meter (about 600-foot) -long vessel was going from Cyprus to the Dutch port of Rotterdam, carrying 28,000 tons of kerosene.
The 20 crew members were from Russia and the Philippines.
French officials have sent a helicopter with 2 gendarmes and a doctor for a preliminary investigation. More gendarmes would be sent later to question the crew. –Agence France-Presse
