Container ship MAERSK GANGES interrupted voyage from Algeciras to Lome, Togo, on Jun 25, and sailed to Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Canary islands. The ship reported dead crew member on board. MAERSK GANGES arrived at Tenerife late Jun 25 and was berthed, that being strange in itself, because operations of medevacs or transfers of bodies usually take place either at sea or at anchorage. MAERSK GANGES left Tenerife in the morning Jun 27, and resumed voyage.

Nothing much known about the deceased, except that he’s of Greek nationality, and either a deckhand or deck officer. All involved parties including ship’s agent, refused to give any details, even in a broad sense – was death natural, or caused by accident. Understood no violence was involved.
