''One person has died and three others are being treated after losing consciousness aboard a cargo ship that had just docked at Denmark’s port of Hanstholm.
The four people, reported to be crewmembers of the ship, were found unconscious Tuesday evening in a confined area of the Polish-flagged MV Corina, which had just arrived in Hanstholm from Gdansk, Poland with a cargo of wood pellets. A fifth person is believed to have escaped the area.
Authorities suspect that the victims inhaled poisonous gasses, possibly carbon monoxide, from the wood pellet cargo.''

''Three dockworkers died after inhaling toxic gases while unloading coal from a carrier at the port of Antwerp on Saturday.
The three workers had entered the hold of the Hong Kong-flagged Saga Frontier, owned by Saga Carrier, to clear away coal residue when the accident occurred.
A spokesperson for the East Flanders administration said that autopsies had revealed the three had died from inhaling toxic gases, adding that a toxicology report would identify what kind of gases they were.''
