A UK inquest has heard that a seafarer was killed by 'multiple injuries' in an explosion on a K Line boxship in January.

Celso Banas, 35, was on the 13,900-teu Manhattan Bridge (built 2015) at Felixstowe when he died, Suffolk Coroner's Court in Ipswich was told, according to the PA news agency.

Assistant Suffolk coroner Kevin McCarthy said: "At some point during his shift he was working in the boiler room when an explosion of steam caused debris to fly all over the place and Mr Banas was struck by debris."
