Two workers died in fire at scrapyard

On Feb 18, 2019, a fire broke out in the engine room of the former "Greek Warrior", which was beached in Chittagong, killing two workers. Md Jamil,a 23 years old cutter, and Bipul lost their lives while scrapping the ship at the Shagorika Ship Breaking Yard. Jamil suffered burns and was rushed to Chittagong Medical College Hospital. He died before reaching the hospital. The body of Bipul was discovered on board a few hours later. The Shagorika yard and RA Shipbreaking yard, which has been recently under the spotlight for the purchase of Nordic American Tankers’ "Nordic Sprite", share the same ownership. The "Greek Warrior" was sold to Bangladeshi breakers by the Greek company Polembros Shipping in 2018. The vessel changed name to "S Warrior" and flag from Panama to Palau, before its final voyage. The cash buyer involved in the sale was Prayati Shipping Pvt. Ltd, based in Mumbai, India. Prayati Shipping offers different types of services, including demolition voyage management.
