Blueoceana Company is currently awaiting updates from friends at Valencia, but in the interim we’ve been made to understand that longshore worker Antonio Cortijo was fatally injured this afternoon while aboard the Ro-Ro vessel M/V EUROCARGO CAGLIARI (see photo below). Initial reports would have us believe that Sr. Cortijo was struck while between two mafis being moved into/out of stowage.
