More bodies found in Qatar ship tragedy

The sea at this time of year can get really rough even for the larger vessels. I once had a vessel in Qatar and sailed around the coastline and was terrified of rough seas myself. I really feel for those that lost thier lives, our prayers are with their families.

Were this poor workers recruited to work on land or on the sea. Were they ever trained to work on a sea going vessel or were they just forced to work wherever the management pleased and at risk to the workers. Hope action is taken urgently to train people before putting them in jobs which they can handle instead of using cheap labour for doing the right things but in the wrong manner. Hope companies wake upto to the health and safety aspects of their workers which will go a long way in generating goodwill for the management and employers and will eventually help the company, its owners and its workers and its bottom line

My husbands cousin was onboard that ship - one of the catering crew and we presume he has died. We are deeply saddened, as are the rest of the family. He has 2 children under 5 who will never see their dad again, and a wife who has now been widowed at a young age. May he, and the rest of the crew who died rest in peace.
