A major accident in a dry dock at Shanghai Waigaoqiao Shipbuilding (SWS) in China during the assembly of a container ship newbuilding earlier this month led to a number of fatalities and injuries.
It is understood the accident happened on 16 June close to 6pm during the dry-dock assembly of an X-Press Feeders 7,000-teu boxship.
TradeWinds has seen video footage of the accident, in which a large block section mounted on the hull of the newbuilding dramatically falls into the dry dock.
