Dispatches No. 461

Dear Members

Another death in Enclosed Space !!!  Cargo Inspector dies in bulk carrier hold !!!

https://www.marineinsight.com/case-studies/real-life-incident-inspector-loses-life-entering-unlabelled-hold-cargo-ship/?fbclid=IwAR2Xsze3E1YK3ynOCRrLzm2MhYmjPeV87LFYvhP_bMfTu0ZjNe5wwGqVYvI

We hope investigators will answer:

– why Inspector was not wearing Gas Detection equipment with alarm

– Why design of the tank allows human beings to enter Oxygen deficient spaces

– How many seafarers were on board of the ship where multiple operations are required – hold opening, security watch, meeting with port authorities etc., etc
