Korea – 23 April 2021"},"content":{"rendered":"\n

Late arriving information coming to Blueoceana Company from South Korea provides that Mr. Lee Seon-ho, a 23 year old marine terminal worker at the Port of Pyeongtaek, South Korea, died on April 23rd of injuries sustained while sweeping out the timber deck of a grounded flatrack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From what we can derive from the loosely translated articles linked to below, Mr. Lee was working within the confines of one side of the flatrack when a forklift truck made contact with the opposite folding wall (perhaps in the process of folding the wall for subsequent stacking\/storage) causing it to fall. In a chain reaction, the folding wall on Mr. Lee’s side of the flatrack fell… crushing Mr. Lee beneath it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other news articles we’ve had the opportunity to review, indicate that the forklift operator was placed under arrest by the local police authorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
