Posted by admin on Feb 7, 2024 in Bulletins

Information coming to Blueoceana Company this afternoon would have us understand that Mr. Trevor Jones, a 64 year old stevedore foreman working the late shift at the John Fernandes Wharf at Georgetown Port, Guyana, was backed-over by the right rear wheel of a reachstacker yesterday morning (06 February) at the facility’s container yard.

Media reports (See links below) allege that Mr. Jones was observed near the rear of an operating reachstacker when he was struck by the machine’s counterweight. The impact pushed him to the side, whereupon the reachstacker’s right rear wheel ran over him; causing massive injuries. He died immediately.
