AB Suffers Serious Injuries After Six Meter Fall During Funnel Maintenance at Sea.On the morning of the incident, the vessel was at sea. The weather was calm, with slight seas and a gentle breeze. Work had been planned on the funnel’s exterior to address a job order for repainting and correcting the company logo. Prior to commencing this job, a homemade cradle, essentially a narrow segment of gangway rigged with ropes for handrails, had been prepared by the crew under the supervision of the chief officer, who verified its apparent suitability for the job. #Incident #ABfall #Funnel
