Hf-Fortune Vessel Reviews and Specifications

In a devastating incident at the Cebu International Port, a 52-year-old port worker, Jerry Boliver, lost his life when a 20-foot container van was accidentally lowered onto him on August 9th, around 4:00 a.m. Boliver, an employee of OPASCOR, was reportedly sleeping on top of a container aboard the M/V Mell Saujana when the accident occurred. The worker, who resided at Magsaysay Street in barangay Suba, was scheduled to head home the previous night. However, he was requested to stay due to the early arrival of the M/V Mell Saujana, which necessitated his presence. According to the gantry crane operator, Renato Garcia, he failed to see Boliver as he maneuvered another 20-foot container onto the one Boliver was resting on. Boliver's body was discovered by Felix Mendijer, who checked the recently loaded container, prompting immediate medical intervention. He was rushed to Perpetual Succour Hospital, where he was sadly pronounced dead. This tragic incident underscores the importance of safety protocols in port operations to prevent such occurrences in the future.
