MARS 201148 Fatality during servicing of ship's passenger elevator (lift)

摘要

(Edited from MAIB Report No 6/2011) A large container vessel was in port, undergoing a preliminary environmental compliance inspection, which, among other items, required the pit of the lift shaft (lift trunk) to be checked for oil residues. The lift car (elevator cage) was at the designated position on the lowest deck, but the second engineer was unable to open the lift shaft doors to gain access to the lift pit.
