MARS Report 386 - December 2024
Editor's note:
As we end our 2024 MARS season, I would like to send a heartfelt thank you to all our contributing reporters. After 33 years of publishing ‘lessons learned’, MARS reports and the related free searchable database are contributing to a safer maritime industry.
We would like to send a special call-out to the Singapore TSIB for their excellent published marine accident reports. In this issue of MARS, we have used two such reports to highlight the dangers to crew when handling container lashing rods. In the selected reports, these heavy, cumbersome and unwieldy items have contributed to the deaths of two crew.
You can help support the MARS effort by sending us your reports to [email protected]. Another way to support MARS is to become a Nautical Affiliate partner of The Nautical Institute. This avenue of MARS support includes complimentary advantages for your company or organisation. See here for further information.
