A friend from a North African port shared the attached video clip with me recently. In it, we see a mobile harbor crane loading a 40' box onto a waiting ship.
We also see, however, that one of the spreader's integral twistlocks is simply not there........
Consequently, that lift (and any that preceded or followed it) was accomplished with only three of the containers' corner fittings engaged and supporting the load.
Every year, a hundred or more workers within the global marine cargo handling industry are killed on the job. It's stuff like this (and the flawed mentality/motivation behind it) which bears responsibility for that very troubling statistic.
