A cargo vessel experienced heavy weather while under way resulting in damage to the port gangway. Once in a secure anchorage and in good weather it was decided to bring the gangway on deck for inspection and to prevent further damage. As the gangway was being lifted on deck via the deck crane, a crewman was caught between the gangway and the ship's rail. His upper body was crushed; first aid was applied and he was quickly evacuated to hospital.
