Two of the seven seamen onboard the chemical/oil Products tanker Bomar Mercury were hospitalized in critical condition after inhaling a toxic gas by name aniline in the Port of Rotterdam last week.  Two other crew members on deck were not feeling well, suffering trouble breathing. Aid workers gave assistance to one of them at the scene, doing intubation with a breathing tube.

The seamen were initially treated on scene and transferred ashore with boats, where emergency teams offered a medical assistance and then taken to the hospital.
