Two injured crew members repatriated
Two Filipino crew members of the 'Gas Lisbon' safely arrived in Manila on Aug 3 after sustaining injuries during the drone strike on their vessel while navigating the Black Sea. The injured seafarers arrived at Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) Terminal 3 aboard Qatar Airways Flight QR932, where they were welcomed by Department of Migrant Workers (DMW) Assistant Secretary Maria Regina Angela G. Galias, together with representatives from the Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA). The DMW and OWWA extended airport reception and financial assistance to support their immediate needs upon arrival. Their licensed manning agency, Alpha Pearl of the Orient Maritime, Inc., facilitated the seafarers’ repatriation, hospitalisation, and continuing medical care. Representatives from the company were also present at the airport to receive the returning crew members and coordinate their post-arrival assistance. The DMW has directed the manning agency to ensure that both seafarers undergo comprehensive physical and psychological evaluations, including appropriate debriefing sessions, as part of their recovery process. The Department of Migrant Workers will continue coordinating closely with Alpha Pearl of the Orient Maritime, Inc. to monitor the condition of the two Filipino seafarers and ensure they receive the medical treatment, welfare assistance, and support necessary for their full recovery.
One crew member died of injuries suffered in Russian attack
The fire on board the 'Gas Lisbon' vessel has decreased in intensity, but was still burning, while the situation was being closely monitored by the Romanian Naval Authority on July 22. On the afternoon, the ship was, however, still too hot to be boarded for inspections. Given the vessel's position, approximately 14 nautical miles from the shore, there was no risk to the population, tourists or activities carried out along the Romanian coast. The tanker had departed from the port of Alexandria and was heading towards Reni, carrying more than 3,790 tonnes of propane and with a crew of 17 people on board, when the ship was attacked. While the tanks seemed to have remained intact, the accommodation block was completely gutted by the fire, and the stern riding low in the water. Meanwhile, one of the injured crew members, Joseph Naa, has died in hospital. He had suffered an inhalation trauma. This led to a pulmonary complication that ultimately resulted in his death in the hospital of Năstăsescu. The two other sailors, who also sustained severe burns, remained in the intensive care unit. They had received severe burns covering about 10-15 % of their bodies. Their condition was reported as stable. Both were citizens of the Philippines.
Gas tanker evacuated after Russian attack - three injured in intensive care
The 'Gas Lisbon', enroute from Alexandria to Reni with 17 crew members and a cargo of more than 3790 tons LPG on board, was damaged in an airstrike in the Black Sea while sailing in Romania's Exclusive Economic Zone, approximately 20 nautical miles southeast of the town of Sfântu Gheorge, on the night of July 20, 2026. The impact triggered a fire and an explosion. The crew took refuge in the bow area, without the possibility of using their own means of evacuation. The MRCC Constanța launched a complex SAR operation. Communications with the ship were maintained through a nearby commercial vessel, used as a radio relay. A Coast Guard ship, as well as the SAR vessels 'SAR Apollo' (IMO: 9830513) and the 'SAR Artemis' (IMO: 9830525) of the Romanian Agency for Saving Life at Sea (ARSVOM), were mobilised to the scene. Due to unfavourable weather conditions, a helicopter of the General Aviation Inspectorate of the Ministry of Interior could not take off. After arriving at the scene, the crew of the 'SAR Apollo' launched two life rafts and managed to safely evacuate all 17 crew members. Three of them required emergency medical care. Two had burns on approximately 10-15% of their body surface, and the third had suffered multiple wounds and was bleeding. After the evacuation, the 'SAR Apollo' moved to the Sulina. The injured were taken to a hospital in Tulcea, where they were admitted to intensive care. A navigation alert was issued, stating that the ship was on fire and there was a danger of explosion, with the fire raging in the stern-castle area. All nearby vessels were warned to maintain a distance of at least three nautical miles, and authorities remained on alert due to the risks of pollution. A tug was dispatched to the area to ensure that the tanker did not drift and did not pose any additional risk to navigational safety. The Ministry of National Defense wass ready to provide support with an IAR-330 Puma Naval helicopter as well as two ships of the Romanian Naval Forces. The state's institutions intended to clarify the circumstances, causes, and responsibilities related to this incident, which was most likely part of the Russian Federation's war against Ukraine.
