Girding leaves coxswain trapped in wheelhouse

摘要

In the early evening, the crew of a chemical tanker in ballast was preparing for departure. The pilot advised the master that, because of the 25 kt wind, he intended to use a mooring launch/tug to assist in manoeuvring the vessel's stern off the berth. In addition, there was an obstruction astern and another vessel was berthed 30 m ahead of the tanker.
