Mooring Line Accident on Algoma Integrity Leads to Fatality.On 21 October 2018, while the Algoma Integrity was mooring at the Morton Salt terminal in The Bahamas, a mooring line fouled the propeller, leading to a fatal incident. During the recovery of the fouled line, another mooring line under extreme tension snapped, severely injuring an ordinary seafarer, who later died despite immediate medical attention. The accident was caused by a sudden change to the mooring plan, leaving a single line under significant strain. The seafarer, unaware he was standing in a hazardous position, was caught in the line’s snapback. The incident highlights the critical need for crew members to stay clear of bights in lines under tension and underscores the importance of clear communication and shared understanding of any changes in mooring operations, reports The Bahamas Maritime Authority.#BMA #MooringLine #Accident
