Three Russian sailors died at Greek tanker

Three Russian sailors died at Greek tanker 11.03.2010
Three Russian sailors died in March 9-10 at Greek tanker Arionas in La Manche strait, said Christelle Aar, press secretary of French maritime prefecture of La Manche and North Sea.

As for the shipmaster, the cause was food poisoning. Gendarmes and a doctor were delivered to the tanker; maritime gendarmerie makes investigation at the direction of Le Havre procuracy.

Russian foreign ministry has no official confirmation of death of Russian citizens yet and expects for information from the tanker's shipmaster or French authorities.

Tanker Arionas was sailing from Libya to Rotterdam but had to call at the port of Le Havre. Bodies of dead Russian sailors will be brought to the land.
