According to news, a devastating explosion on the bulk carrier Toro Rosso resulted in the deaths of seven crew members and numerous injuries.
As informed, Moroccan authorities are investigating the incident involving the 91,384 DWT bulker, which was chartered by an Ethiopian company.
Lessons learned from an incident in which, during disconnection of a structure, a securing pin became stuck and could not be removed by hand.
A hydraulic jack was employed to eject the pin which resulted in the pin being released under load directly into someone’s face. A team of four persons were removing a structure.
An alert to inform interested parties about an incident in which a general cargo vessel was preparing to get underway and head to sea after loading cargo in a port on a river.
The pilot boarded the vessel and went to the bridge where the master-pilot exchange began. The vessel and master had been in and out of this port several times, so this was viewed as a routine transit. Still, the master and pilot discussed the status of the main engine, steering, and control systems all of which were operating in excellent condition.
