UNIDENTIFIED WORKER PLUNGES TO DEATH AT DELAWARE RIVER BULK TERMINAL [CLAYMONT, DELAWARE – 22 FEBRUARY 2018]

Information coming to Blueoceana Company this evening, relates that a 62 year old marine terminal worker died earlier today as his bulk cargo-moving, frontend loader plunged off “an elevated pier” and into the Delaware River at Claymont, Delaware (USA).

We provide a link (see below) to the most comprehensive (such as it is) media report available, and will update this post should further facts come into our possession. The worker’s identity is presently unknown.

Notwithstanding, we were able to obtain photographs of the facility and of the operations conducted there. They will be posted here (see below).
