Two people were found dead in a hold on board the general cargo ship DEVBULK BEGUM, sailing under the flag of the Marshall Islands. The tragic incident casts a shadow over the routine work in the Port of Burgas, where the ship was supposed to begin handling its cargo.
Our correspondents on the scene report that the bodies were discovered during the night, when the crews were preparing to unload the cargo. Upon seeing the gruesome find, work in the terminal was immediately stopped. The atmosphere at the scene was tense, with employees and workers visibly shocked by what had happened.
According to available information, the two deceased were not members of the ship's crew, built in 2012. In addition, they were not employees or workers of the port terminal, which raises many questions about the circumstances surrounding their deaths.
The DEVBULK BEGUM ship was transporting a cargo of copper concentrate from Peru. The teams are now working on clarifying the details surrounding the transportation of this cargo and the possible presence of the two men on board.
According to information, the ship is owned and managed by companies based in Istanbul. The investigation to establish the causes of death is ongoing, and the authorities hope to establish all the details surrounding this tragic case.
