Merchant marine ships (especially during the 1970 and earlier) had a tremendous amount of asbestos materials on the ships. Yhe marines themselves would regularly have exposure to these hazards and poisons. Whether the asbestos itself was in the cargo and packages or if they were within the ship itself, the people working on these ships were exposed.
The close quarters of these marine ships and lack of suitable oxygen made the exposre potentially even worse. Years later as the dangers of asbestos have been studied, many class action lawsuits began and are still going on as there were thousands of companies suing this material during and after world war 2 and many veterans developed mesothelioma and lung poisoning sickness - including cancer.
Many companies are no longer in business, but maritime attorneys are always evaluating new cases.

More settlements from asbestos victims continue to come in. I personally am getting small checks from my Dad's lawsuit as he was a merchant marine and died of cancer.
