One of the workers was able to cling to the machine&#8217;s counterweight and survived. Jo\u00e3o Alc\u00e1cer was not as fortunate.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We mourn for him, his family and his friends, and remind all marine terminal workers at all ports that being a pedestrian anywhere near these large pieces of container handling equipment is an exercise filled with great danger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"960\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/blueoceana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/156976852_1842108295941893_2063979476923517288_n.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4887\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blueoceana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/156976852_1842108295941893_2063979476923517288_n.jpg 960w, https:\/\/blueoceana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/156976852_1842108295941893_2063979476923517288_n-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blueoceana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/156976852_1842108295941893_2063979476923517288_n-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blueoceana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/156976852_1842108295941893_2063979476923517288_n-140x94.jpg 140w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/blueoceana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/BREMER_ELENA.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4894\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blueoceana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/BREMER_ELENA.jpg 800w, https:\/\/blueoceana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/BREMER_ELENA-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blueoceana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/BREMER_ELENA-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption><strong>M\/V BREMER ELENA<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"991\" src=\"https:\/\/blueoceana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Screen-Shot-2021-03-05-at-9.23.15-AM-1024x991.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4892\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blueoceana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Screen-Shot-2021-03-05-at-9.23.15-AM-1024x991.png 1024w, https:\/\/blueoceana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Screen-Shot-2021-03-05-at-9.23.15-AM-300x290.png 300w, https:\/\/blueoceana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Screen-Shot-2021-03-05-at-9.23.15-AM-768x743.png 768w, https:\/\/blueoceana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Screen-Shot-2021-03-05-at-9.23.15-AM.png 1534w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption><strong>Orientation of Lisbon, Portugal<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jo\u00e3o Alc\u00e1cer, long time longshore worker, fatally injured in CHE back over accident.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4888,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4886","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blueoceana_blog"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blueoceana.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4886","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blueoceana.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blueoceana.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blueoceana.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blueoceana.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=4886"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/blueoceana.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4886\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4895,"href":"https:\/\/blueoceana.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4886\/revisions\/4895"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blueoceana.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/4888"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blueoceana.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=4886"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blueoceana.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=4886"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blueoceana.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=4886"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
