Marine Terminal Security Guard Struck & Killed By Container Handling Equipment [Rades, Tunisia – 25 February 2019]

Posted by admin on Apr 6, 2019 in Bulletins

Late news reaching Blueoceana Company just today, has revealed that a security guard working on dock at the Port of Rades, Tunisia was run over by a piece of container handling equipment and succumbed to his injuries immediately.

The sole news account available to us (see link below) merely informs us that the 28 year old security “team leader” was “accidentally run over”, and that a colleague injured his hand and leg in an effort to provide aid.

We’re left to conjecture what sort of “container handling equipment” was involved, and how the security guard came to be run over by it. We do know that Rades port has (relatively recently) acquired a few rubber tired gantry cranes, but also believe that the port has a few reach stackers and top loaders within its equipment inventory.
