UK examination of fatal accident during unloading
The UK Marine Accident Investigation Branch (MAIB) posted the summary of its Preliminary Examination into circumstances surrounding the death of a crew member on board a self-discharging bulk carrier at Northfleet on 4 October 2010. The individual died while working adjacent to the roller in the conveyor belt tunnel. Examination revealed that the ship had no written risk assessments and there was no written job description for the deceased. The owner has since installed enhanced guarding around the conveyor belt machinery.
