The father of the sailor who died in the Indian Ocean called two versions of the tragedy

Viktor Gordeev, the father of one of those who died on board the Beluga Reefer in the Indian Ocean, suggests that the death of the sailors could not have been due to an accident. In conversation with REN TV he spoke about versions of the tragedy.

Gordeev listened to two explanations of what had happened from the crew members of the ship. There is no official version yet.

According to the father of the deceased, the ship was bound for Port Elizabeth. After leaving the port of Durban, a chatter began. According to the first version, the boatswain did not secure the ends in advance, because in a day they would still have to be untied. Because of the storm, he was worried that the ropes might be washed off the deck. Therefore, together with three sailors, he went to the bow of the ship to tie them. None of the management was warned.

“The first wave hit them. They laughed about it, and then the second wave came, after which there was no time for laughter”– said Gordeev.

So allegedly his son and the boatswain himself died. The wave broke the spine of another sailor. The fourth – “miraculously survived.”

The second version says that because of the storm, containers began to stagger. They could be thrown overboard (which would have turned into problems for the owners of the ship). A command was received from the captain: to secure the cargo. At this time, the ship was moving at maximum speed. The first wave was small, but immediately after it rolled the second – the ship for some time almost completely submerged in the water.

“The water of those who were on deck was torn off their seats and scattered around the ship”Gordeev specified.

His son was hit by a container, and the boatswain carried at least 20 meters to the hold lid. A third sailor was able to get caught on part of the ship. This raises questions for the fourth, who was supposedly an electromechanic.

“Where was he at that moment? Did he survive, did he survive?” asked Gordeev.

Gordeev added: his deceased son was going to connect his whole life with the sea, saying that he “went to work and not whine.” After this flight, he planned to get a diploma as a navigator. The soul of the company, the father of two small children.

“It’s a big loss for us all”– concluded the father of the deceased sailor.

Recall that the tragedy occurred in the Indian Ocean on June 30. Two residents of Kaliningrad died – a boatswain born in 1970 and a sailor born in 1990. SC launched an investigation
