Summary

On the 25th of June 2024, approximately at 14:34 hours, the Portuguese flagged vessel JOLLY BLUE was made fast, port side alongside, at port of Rades, in Tunis, Tunisia,
under cargo operations. During heaving up of one forward spring line, at 15:34 hours, the mooring line parted and hit two crew members of a team of five who were performing
maintenance tasks at the forward mooring station. One crew member, an able seaman Ukraine national, suffered a fatal injury and one crew member, ordinary seaman,
Ukrainian national, sustain less serious injuries. Port emergency services were requested, and medical assistance was provided.

Safety recommendations

SR01-2024/240,

To the Tunisian Maritime Administration:

Assess whether the existing mooring arrangements at the Port of Rades contributed to the mooring-line failure.

Lessons learned

 

The mooring arrangement should take into account the passage and manoeuvring of other vessels in the vicinity. The configuration should be adapted to wind and current forces, draught variations, and vessel movements. Quays shorter than the vessel may prevent the effective use of spring lines and breast lines, concentrating loads on a limited number of mooring lines. Mooring lines should be regularly monitored and adjusted throughout cargo operations.
