2.5, explosion, fatalities

Malaysia: four Chinese nationals were killed in an explosion on board a tanker in Indonesian waters off Penang island in northern Malaysia. A Filipino and a Singaporean were injured in the accident. The explosion from an exhaust pump on crude oil tanker Suva occurred during welding work on the vessel. The tanker, which was heading from Singapore to Saudi Arabia, was empty because it had earlier unloaded its cargo in Taiwan. One of the men was scalded by hot steam while two drowned after falling into a water tank and the fourth died from his injuries after a fall.
