FATAL ACCIDENT OFF LANDSORT.

Deficiencies in the safety organization system were behind a tragic accident off Landsort on 23rd. March 2021, when a sailor died in a hold of the Cyprus flagged Nataly the Swedish Accident Investigation Board stated in its final report. The ship, loaded with wood chips, was anchored off the Swedish island of Öja, waiting to arrive at the quay in Landsort. In connection with the anchoring, the anchor chain of one of the anchors had got stuck in the anchor box and the chief mate together with two deckhands had therefore opened the anchor box. According to the investigation, it was found that a work light did not work, and one of the deck hands went to get replacement lighting. At the same time, the other deckhand was carrying out further preparations when he heard a sound and saw, that the door to descent to the hold was open. At the bottom, he saw the deckhand lying lifeless, and immediately raised the alarm.

The casualty was lifted out of the cramped space while the master called for help. Even though resuscitation was started as soon as possible, the casualty was still unconscious when a rescue helicopter arrived, and he was pronounced dead on his arrival at hospital.

Post mortem results suggested that the reason for the deckhands death was suffocation as a result of staying in the hold.

Following the incident, a review of the ship's safety organization system was carried out, and it reports several deviations. One conclusion that the Accident Investigation Board drew was that the safety organization system has not been effectively implemented, and that this is one reason why the incident could happen.

The direct cause of the accident, however, was that the deckhand went down into an enclosed space where there was a lack of oxygen. The hatch to the cargo hold descent was not blocked, which meant that a safety barrier was broken. However, it has not been possible to determine why the deckhand went down in the hold

 

NEAR COLLISION OFF BRUNSBUTTEL.

Nataly was in a near collision with the RoRo ferry Norrland on the River Elbe off Brunsbüttel, Germany in the early morning of 1st. March 2020 while enroute from Norrköping, Sweden to Teighmouth.

The Ukrainian captain steered the vessel towards the radar line in the middle of the channel. The Norrland was approaching towards Hamburg. During the change of the pilot off Brunsbüttel it was observed there was a dangerous. The pilot change was immediately aborted, and the master of the Norroland changed course to avoid the potential collision.

Traffic control filed a charge against the master of the Nataly for endangering ship traffic. The vessel was ordered to moor in Cuxhaven for investigations by the marine police. It berthed at 2.30 a.m. and was released at 5.10 a.m. The captain had to deposit a safety fine of 3.000 Euro.
