Accident at " Ship to Ship Operation"


About 18 months ago I had a ship detained that had a wobbly crane. Thankfully it was in for agribulk, but the crew let me know and I in turn let Transport Canada know. The crane was but one item of many.

I heard this accident happened at Persian Gulf, with a Tranloader vessel discharging iron ore from a cape size bulker. The filipino crane driver died instantly. Lack of proper maintenance checks was the cause…..
