Doctors in Montenegro said one sailor had died and three more had to be hospitalised after an accident on a Greek ferry near the country's Adriatic coast, the Business Standard reported.

Doctors at the Meljine General Hospital said one of the sailors remained in life-threatening condition after a suspected poisoning late Friday, apparently by fuel fumes.

Police said an investigation was underway but had released no details. Local media reported the sailors were from Sri Lanka, Egypt and India.

The ship 'Horizon' owned by a Greek company but sailing under a Cypriot flag was heading to a nearby Montenegrin shipyard for repairs.
