IN LESS than a month, a second mishap has taken place in a shipyard, this time killing two workers in what appears to be a case of gas poisoning.

Seven Indian nationals working below the deck of the Pacific Ataawhai in a dry dock in Tuas Crescent found themselves gasping for breath.

The two who died - aged 21 and 25 - were believed to have been asphyxiated. The rest were hospitalised and are in stable condition.

On June 8, an Indian national, 42, died at the neighbouring Kreuz shipyard after he was severely burnt in an explosion on board a boat undergoing painting. Fourteen others were hurt in the explosion on the Rainbow Star.

No explosion took place on Wednesday on board the ship that was being converted into a seismic survey vessel at DryDocks World Singapore.

A spokesman for the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) said a few workers were rescued from the ship by an in-house emergency response team after the alarm was raised.

Two workers were found slumped unconscious inside a compartment outside the engine room. It is not clear if these workers were the two who later died in hospital.

While the Manpower Ministry (MOM) and the police investigate, a stop-work order has been declared on the vessel.
