The tanker, being loaded with 2000 tons of jet fuel, was anchored on Shenzhen Mawan Port roads, when one crew went to the forecastle to check the gas level in the forecastle compartments. As he did not return, two other crew members were sent to find out what happened. All of them suffered gas intoxication and a lack of oxygen. The vessel reported the accident to the authorities, and a fire team was sent to the scne, which found a very high concentration of carbon dioxide, threatening with explosion. The firefighters found one crewman dead and the two others unconscious. These two were taken to hospital, one of them alas later died. The accident was caused by a gas leak in one of the tanks.
