Improper Ventilation And Enclosed Space Entry Procedures Leading To Casualty

In one of my vessel two crew members died inside the Cargo hold due to lack of cargo hold ventilation. Vessel had loaded wood chips from Chanmay (Vietnem) and discharge port is Morak (Indonesia).

Cargo hold should be properly ventilated and enclosed space permit checklist should be properly filled and complied with the same, company had strictly advised to vessel stating crew members should not enter into cargo hold without office approval and as safety checklist was prepared by vessel superintendent, and he has to verify and send it to vessel in order to prevent the reoccurrence.
