On Wednesday night the National Sea Rescue Institute responded to Saldanha Bay to assist two seamen aboard the ship -Panama. Both sustained injuries from unknown causes and one died.

“On arrival onto the vessel, one of the patients was found to be in a critical condition and all efforts to resuscitate him were exhausted on the scene, but he died,” says NSRI spokesperson, Craig Lambinon.

He adds that the police are investigating the cause of the incident. Lambinon says efforts will be made to get the body of the man off the ship.
