What happened?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The US Coast Guard (USCG) has published Safety Alert 05-19<\/a> relating to a man overboard fatality.  The incident occurred when a very large (330m) container ship arrived in port in heavy weather (40 knot winds and 4m swell.)  The vessel was on a WNW course with seas on the vessel’s starboard quarter, manoeuvring at about 10 knots to make a lee in preparation to embark a ship’s pilot at a port side hatch.  Two crewmen were preparing for the pilot’s arrival, behind the hydraulically operated bi-fold hatch door.  This was located forward of the bridge and approximately 4m above the waterline – see photographs.  As the vessel manoeuvered, it was hit by heavy seas that forced the hatch door open, resulting in flooding of the embarkation space, sweeping one crewman out to sea and injuring another.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The crewman who was washed overboard and subsequently swept out to sea was lost and presumed dead after 28 hours of searching by the local Coast Guard.  The injured crewman suffered a broken leg when the pilot ladder fell on him.  The hatch door itself was damaged.<\/p>\n
