MALAGA - THREE crew-members off the Boudicca cruise ship which stopped off in Malaga Port last week had to be rushed to Carlos Haya Hospital after suffering severe burns from a water leak in the ship’s boiler-room. The ship left Southampton on March 3 with 831 passengers and 331 crew members aboard.
Malaga was its first stop and it was due to leave at 6pm after the passengers had spent the day in the city. However, at approximately 5pm, a small explosion caused boiling water to leak from a boiler and three Filipino men aged between 30 and 33 who were working on it at the time were burned. The captain called the emergency services and a private company sent a mobile ICU with a doctor and two ambulances. The youngest of the three men is in critical condition with second degree burns to 30 per cent of his body.
The ship left Malaga on its way to Cartagena just after 6pm.
