What Crew Members Say About Dalian

Operations came to a standstill at the Nhava Sheva Freeport Terminal (NSFT) within the Jawaharlal Nehru Port Authority (JNPA) on the early morning of July 6, 2026, following a tragic accident that resulted in the death of a docker and left another worker severely injured. The incident occurred around 3:30 a.m. when four empty containers stacked on the vessel 'Dalian' toppled over due to heavy rains and strong winds, crashing down on two trucks situated at the terminal. Among the affected trucks was one designated for hazardous waste collection. Two workers, who were atop one of the trucks managing waste oil removal from anchored vessels, found themselves trapped beneath the fallen containers. The deceased has been identified as 19-year-old Amit Kumar Kishor Prasad from Bihar, while the injured individual, Naeem, aged 30, hails from Ghaziabad. While Prasad was pronounced dead upon arrival at Indira Gandhi Rural Government Hospital in Uran, Naeem was taken to Medicover Hospital in Kharghar for treatment. This unfortunate incident has sparked panic among the workers at the terminal, and an accidental death report has been filed regarding the matter.

On January 7, 2017, during a snowstorm, the container ship "OOCL Novorossiysk" encountered a precarious situation as it was navigating the Bosphorus Strait on its journey from Odessa to Istanbul. The vessel veered dangerously off its designated course, coming alarmingly close to running aground at the Hotel Tarabya and potentially colliding with the dock. Fortunately, the ship managed to stabilize and safely berth in Istanbul by 10 a.m. For more details and insights, check out these reports and footage: [video report by Hurriyet Daily News](http://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/video-panic-as-huge-container-ship-shaves-istanbuls-tarabya-coast.aspx?PageID=238&NID=108321&NewsCatID=341) and [YouTube footage](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XpRkgMUoFdk).
