Double death on board was foul play

Wed May 31 11:12:03 CEST 2017 Timsen

The Filipino chef and an engineer who died in quick succession on the "Sage Sagittarius" both met with foul play, a coroner has found. He said the evidence “strongly suggests” the ship’s captain, Venancio Salas Jr, either “caused or authorised” the disappearance of the chef or withheld information from the inquest. The coroner noted that she had come to this conclusion despite the fact Salas had cooperated with the inquest by giving evidence on three separate occasions. Two weeks later, when the ship was in Newcastle harbour, engineer Hector Collado, 55, was found dead on board. The deaths were both considered suspicious but the crew was largely reluctant to provide information to the Australian authorities. No charges were laid and an 11-day inquest was held in New South Wales. The inquest heard the ship’s captain was selling guns to the crew and the culture on board was marked by bullying, harassment, silencing and “blacklisting”. On May 30, 2017, the deputy state coroner, Sharon Freund, found Llanto had died either after being thrown overboard or killed on the ship and his body then later disposed of “by a person or persons unknown”. Two weeks later, Collado was struck over the head by a weapon, again by person or persons unknown, and was either then thrown or fell over the handrail outside the ship’s storeroom on the second deck. A third man, Kosaku Monji, 37, was crushed to death in a conveyer belt in October 2012, while the ship was docked at the Japanese port of Kudamatsu. The coroner’s court had no jurisdiction to make findings on the death of Monji, as it occurred in a Japanese port, but noted that the Japanese coast guard had deemed his death an accident with no suspicious circumstances. It heard that a mess officer, Jessie Martinez, was the subject of bullying and intimidation because of his homosexuality and junior status on the vessel. But when Llanto joined the ship, the bullying eased. The crew believed Llanto was related to Martinez, and there was evidence that Llanto had acted as the man’s “big brother figure”. Martinez was assaulted three times by the ship’s captain, the inquest heard, and fellow crew members had told him to complain to the union and the Australian Maritime Safety Authority once the ship was in mobile phone range. Another crew member was preparing to make the complaint on Martinez’s behalf. Audio recordings from the ship’s voyage data recorder (VDR) system were also deliberately deleted on the day of Llanto’s disappearance, the coroner found. "This fact, in combination with other evidence, suggests strongly to me that Captain Salas caused or authorised the disappearance of Mr Llanto, or that he had knowledge about the circumstances of his disappearance beyond that to which he acknowledged at the inquest,” the coroner wrote. The second victim, Collado, had expressed fears for his safety. Collado was a potential witness to the circumstances behind the Llanto death, the inquest heard, and Salas had a “particular interest” in speaking with him about changing his statement, the coroner said. Freund found the two deaths were likely linked. She found there was no direct evidence as to who caused the death of Collado. “However, it would be an extraordinary coincidence if the [persons] who caused Mr Llanto’s death were not also responsible for Mr Collado’s death,” she wrote. Outside the court on May 30, Dean Summers, the national co-ordinator for the International Transport Workers’ Federation, said the flag-of-convenience system made workers vulnerable. The coroner said the inquest highlighted the very significant practical impediments created by a disappearance or a death on board a foreign-flagged vessel. The AFP and New South Wales police used their best endeavours to investigate the disappearance and deaths, she said. But their challenges included interviewing members of the crew – all Filipino nationals and most needed an interpreter – who apparently felt intimidated or scared about what had happened. Her recommendations included considering the establishment of a permanent standing group, with members from at least the AFP, NSW police, the Australian Maritime Safety Authority and the Australian Transport Safety Bureau. Such a group would liaise, contact and assist with any investigation of the death or suspicious death on board, or disappearance from, an international vessel in or bound for Australian waters.

Death ship findings delayed

Fri May 19 10:49:11 CEST 2017 Timsen

Coronial findings into tragedies on board so-called death ship "Sage Sagittarius" have been delayed. A lengthy inquest had investigated the deaths of two seamen who died on or vanished from the coal carrier in August and September 2012. Head chef Cesar Llanto vanished overboard as the ship approached Australian waters off Cairns on the Queensland coast on Aug 30. Two weeks later, the ship's chief engineer Hector Collado died after falling 11 metres from one deck to another as the ship entered Newcastle, NSW. Deputy NSW Coroner Sharon Freund had been expected to hand down her findings on May 19, 2017, but the matter was delayed until a date yet to be fixed. A third death, not investigated by the coroner, occurred when Japanese superintendent Kosaku Monji was crushed in a conveyor belt while the ship was docked in Japan. A crew member told the inquest he didn't think Mr Llanto had accidentally fallen overboard and said the captain Venancio Salas Jr may have been involved. He also said he heard some seamen had disembarked at Port Kembla in NSW despite having time left on their contracts. The case of the Panama-flagged vessel prompted a Senate inquiry into Flag of Convenience (FOC) ships. The International Transport Workers' Federation has long argued dodgy conditions created by the FOC system contributed to the deaths.

'Death ship' findings expected in Sydney

Fri May 19 10:18:56 CEST 2017 arnekiel

NSW coronial findings into the so-called "death ship" Sage Sagittarius are expected to be handed down on Friday. A lengthy inquest investigated the deaths of two of three seamen who died on or vanished from the Japanese coal carrier in August and September 2012. Head chef Cesar Llanto vanished overboard as the ship approached Australian waters off the coast of Cairns on August 30. Two weeks later, the ship's chief engineer Hector Collado died after falling 11m from one deck to another as the ship entered Newcastle, NSW. A crew member told the inquest he didn't think Mr Llanto had accidentally fallen overboard and said captain Venancio Salas Jr. may have been involved. He also said heard crew members were scared of the captain and some had got off the ship at Port Kembla, despite having time left on their contracts. A third death, not investigated by the coroner, later occurred when Japanese superintendent Kosaku Monji was crushed in a conveyor belt while the ship was docked in Japan. The case of the Panama-flagged vessel prompted a senate inquiry into Flag of Convenience ships. https://au.news.yahoo.com/nsw/a/35560422/death-ship-findings-expected-in-sydney/#page1
