Seaman dies in hold of scrap loaden Delia

In the hold of the German, Antigua-Barbuda-flagged coastal freighter "Delia" (BRZ 1846) a sailor died. As the owner of the ship, Manfred Lauterjung, reported the Estonian on Wednesday climbed into the hold of the scrap-laden ship, "without telling anyone about it,". The accident happened on Wednesday in the traffic separation zone in the North Sea north of Borkum. After crewmembers had discovered the 43-year-old man lifeless in the hold, a rescue helicopter was requested, but the crew could only find the death of the sailor. Finally the ship reached Emden, where the corpse was handed over for transfer to Estonia. Once a replacement for the deceased man had arrived on board, the "Delia" with the full strength of seven man crew sailed again and continued the journey that begun in Denmark to El Ferrol, Spain.
