A body of a sub-contractor worker has been found who died in an accident at Keppel Shipyard in Singapore on August 22.
Namely, according to a Keppel Shipyard spokesperson the body was of a sub-contractor worker who fell into the sea when part of a concrete pier at the yard collapsed.
According to local media, a Singapore Ministry of Manpower (MOM) spokesperson noted that part of concrete pier that a crane was standing on collapsed resulting in the crane falling onto a vessel berthed in the yard.
The Bangladeshi worker employed by Kumarann Marine fell into the sea and his body was recovered later. After the incident, the Keppel Shipyard expressed its “deepest condolences to the family of the deceased” and is “rendering our full assistance to them.”
The company is now working closely with the authorities to conduct investigations and review.
