Meanwhile, the Transnet National Ports Authority in Durban has retracted its initial statement that the vessel’s chief engineer had died of a heart attack, instead stating the vessel was under investigation. At the same time, at the port of Gqeberha, 14 crew members also tested positive for Covid-19, and a vessel master could be facing criminal charges after allegedly failing to disclose that a crew member was ill.
