A tragedy took place at sea Tuesday morning in the rail of Ouessant (Finistère), we learned from the maritime prefecture of the Atlantic. At around 9:40 am, a large package of sea hit the front beach of the tanker Palladium, a Liberian-flagged tanker that was then 40 nautical miles northwest of the Breton island.

In the shock, a sailor of Filipino origin was seriously injured. Unconscious and in cardiorespiratory arrest, he was evacuated aboard an NH90-Cayman helicopter hired by the Cross Corsen. After several attempts at resuscitation, the victim was pronounced dead shortly after 11:30 a.m.
