Engineer dies from inhaling fumes

JAKARTA (JP): An engineer died and two others suffered
breathing difficulties after apparently being overcome by fumes
at Tanjung Priok Port in North Jakarta on Thursday.

A dockyard company employee who spoke on the condition of
anonymity said the men were repairing a cargo ship which emitted
thick smoke from its engine.

Ganda Suganda, 32, died after being taken to Suka Mulya
Hospital.

His remains were sent to the Cipto Mangunkusumo General
Hospital's morgue.

The employee said his company followed standard procedures,
such as leaving the ship's ventilator windows open for several
days prior to the repairwork. He said he was unsure how the fatal
accident occurred. (06)
