TWO OFFICERS have been killed and another seafarer injured after a lifeboat
fell into the water during a safety drill being conducted on CMA CGM Christophe
Colomb, Fairplay was told today.
CMA CGM said it appeared that part of the davit's hoisting mechanism had given
way while the boat was being lifted back aboard during the exercise at the
Chinese port of Yantian on 15 April.
The vessel's master and first officer dived into the water in an attempt to aid
the three men, but the two French officers died in the fall, the company
confirmed.
CMA CGM told Fairplay that the davit and lifeboat had been inspected in
September, and a similar test exercise was carried out using the boat in
January. It added that both pieces of equipment were equipped with a fall
prevention device, in line with the recommendations of the IMO.
In a statement, the group said it is "working with the French flag authorities,
the manufacturers and safety experts in order to ascertain exactly what
occurred and to do everything possible to ensure that these tragic events are
not repeated".
The company indicated to Fairplay that CMA CGM Christophe Colomb had been
authorised to leave the port after having taken on board two craft to replace
the lifeboat involved in the accident.
