2001年10月,路易斯安那州的消防员们在一艘由多米尼加共和国开往拉普拉斯Bayou钢铁公司的货船上发现了1名海关稽查员、1名船长和1名船员的尸体。据报载,他们是进入满载废铁料的船舱后不久由于窒息而相继身亡的。当前,密闭空间中的有毒环境已经不仅仅是船舶上面临的一种危险,日 In October 2001, Louisiana firefighters found the body of a customs inspector, a captain and a crew member on a cargo ship bound for the Bayou Steel Company from the Dominican Republic to Laplace. It was reported that they were killed shortly after entering the cabin full of scrap metal as a result of asphyxiation. At present, the toxic environment in a confined space is more than just a danger on the ship.
