Crew on the Northern Eagle reported a likely ammonia leak that led to the death of David Kuma, from West Africa.
A crew member on an American Seafoods factory trawler died at sea last week, likely from an ammonia leak on board.
“One of their crew members was found unresponsive in one of their engineering spaces,” Highwater said. “They believe there was an ammonia leak somewhere in the vessel that caused the person to fall unconscious.” Forty-three-year-old Kuma was found unresponsive just after 12 a.m. that morning, according to Highwater.
Unalaska’s Fire Chief Ben Knowles said the Northern Eagle reached Unalaska around 5 a.m. the next day — roughly 24 hours after the distress call. From there, the case was turned over to local responders.
