With great regret, Blueoceana Company has received word from friends at Antwerp port that a straddle carrier operator\/trainer died this afternoon as a result of a fall from a machine he had been operating at the PSA Europa terminal in that port.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At present, we have no further information as to the particulars of this accident, but we have acquired two separate media reports to which we provide links (see below).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

UPDATE<\/strong>: 09 May 10:30 PM EST – We now understand that the straddle carrier operator fatally injured today has been identified as Mr. Dominique Brams, 58 years old, a 28 year veteran docker and a person extremely well regarded amongst his friends and colleagues at Antwerp port.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While we await the conclusions of the investigations being conducted, preliminary (and unconfirmed) reports suggest that Mr. Brams had raised the metal grid protecting the straddle carrier’s floor-mounted window in order to clean the glass. Then, in maneuvering around the cab, it has been alleged that he stood on the glass which gave way beneath him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
