The deceased sailor on ship MSС MESSINA during a fire turned out to be a 20-year-old guy from Odessa.
About it informs “Seafarers Journal”.
This was his second voyage. The incident occurred on June 25, but from that moment the crew was without communication on the emergency ship.
The MSC MESSINA was sailing from Sri Lanka to Singapore. Halfway between Sri Lanka and the Strait of Malacca, a fire broke out in the engine room of the ship. The rest of the crew are on the emergency ship.
The photo shows their exhausted faces.
Note that the speaker of the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry Oleg Nikolenko said that Ukrainian diplomats are checking the presence of Ukrainians on the lit board of MSC MESSINA.
.@DmytroKuleba instructed the embassies of Ukraine in India and Singapore to immediately check the situation on the ship MSC MESSINA, whose crew members may include citizens of Ukraine. https://t.co/kAInvub0nY

As Telegraf previously reported, a month ago, in approximately the same area where the fire occurred on board MESSINA, a powerful explosion thundered on the X-Press Pearl container ship.
