A Filipino crewman needed a leg amputated after colleagues failed to use an offshore ship’s crane correctly.
The UK Marine Accident Investigation Branch (MAIB) said the second officer suffered crush injuries on the 15,361-bhp survey and research ship Kommandor Orca (built 2006) at Portland in England on 16 August 2022.
The former anchor-handling tug supply ship was alongside at the port when the seafarer was operating a rail-mounted deck crane.
