Text 3. Seafarer loses leg in loading accident
Read the text.
A serious accident on board a ship in Hong Kong while it was loading and discharging at anchorage resulted in the bosun losing a leg and another seafarer also being injured.
The two men were involved in transferring very heavy metal plates on the deck which were being used for rebuilding the interior structure of the vessel, says Hong Kong chaplain Peter Ellis.
"The plates, weighing over one-and-a-quarter tons were being hoisted when a gust of wind caused the vessel and the barges alongside to shift violently. As a result, the two crew members lost control of the sling, leaving them trapped under the steel work. It took nearly 20 minutes to release them. The bosun's left leg was cut off which was tragic, but he was so lucky not to lose his life".
Peter said an enduring memory of one of his visits to the hospital to see the men was of the Turkish bosun rushing down the corridor using a walking frame to greet the Israeli captain of a sistership who also ran to meet him.
"As they embraced each other, it struck me1 how much the brotherhood of seafarers can teach the world".
