With great regret, Blueoceana Company has learned that a 40 year old longshore worker was fatally injured in a dockside vehicular accident during the loading of an ocean going vessel at the port of Carrara, Italy yesterday (21 August) afternoon.<\/p>\n

What basic facts we have, indicate that the as-yet unnamed worker was at the port’s East Pier; walking near a shoreside crane, when he was “overwhelmed” by a large forklift truck.<\/p>\n

The Tuscan port of Marina di Carrara includes multi-purpose facilities that handle container, break bulk (predominantly blocks and slabs of Carrara marble) and Ro-Ro cargoes, where we understand\u00a0Porto di Carrara S.p.a.<\/strong>\u00a0acts as the exclusive stevedoring company there, and annually handles about 3 millions tons of dry cargo, excluding containers.\u00a0The Company was established in 1992, and the average annual turnover is about 25 million Euro.<\/p>\n

We have no information as yet relative to the size of the forklift truck that struck this worker, but do know that the stevedore owns a sizable number of high capacity variable lift machines such as the one shown in the photo below.<\/p>\n

UPDATE (23 August 8:30 AM): \u00a0<\/strong>As the press report linked to below<\/strong> sets out, the worker killed in Tuesday’s accident at Carrara port has been identified as Alessandro Lorenzani (see photos below), a 39 year old longshore worker. We now understand that the provincial prosecutor has opened up a culpable manslaughter investigation into this accident. In searching for a basis that could predicate the investigation of this matter along those culpable lines, we have found a media account of yet another fatal accident which occurred last month at a Carrara port marble warehouse which was apparently also operated by Porto di Carrara S.p.a. For further details in relation to that event, please see the relevant posting, above<\/em>.<\/p>\n
