Posted by admin on Jul 28, 2021 in Bulletins

From a close friend and colleague in U.K., Blueoceana Company is saddened to understand that a merchant mariner working aboard  M/V CLIPPER PENNANT (See photo below) was fatally backed-over by a tractor-trailer combination being discharged at Liverpool port (U.K.) on 20 July.

This type of accident has become quite common aboard Ro-Ro vessels of late. Appropriate training and continuing reminders relating to vehicular struck-by hazards to all labor and management staff engaged in such cargo operations is a worthwhile exercise.
