Two workers have died on a heavy-lift ship at Taiwanese shipbuilder CSBC Corp.

The CNA news agency said the men were electrocuted at the Kaohsiung plant on Saturday afternoon.

The two, a 42-year-old surnamed Lu and a 46-year-old surnamed Lin, worked for a contractor of CSBC.

They were found in an overflow cabin after workers extinguished a fire.

The workers were welding at the time, according to Kaohsiung City Labor Affairs Bureau.
