Strange Odor On Container Ship
KOMO, WA
________
Seattle (US):
Nine people were taken to the hospital Monday morning after some complained of feeling dizzy after smelling a strange odor on a container ship.
Police sent a Hazmat team to Terminal 5 at the Port of Seattle just after 8 a.m. after reports of an odor on board the Hyundai Emperor. When crews arrived, they found six people reporting feeling dizzy from the fumes. Crews sent those six to the hospital to be checked out, as well as three others who were nearby as a precaution.
None of the problems were serious. Investigators were never able to find any toxic fumes on board, so they turned the case over to an environmental contractor to follow up.
