Isaac-Newton Ship Details and Seafarer Feedback

On January 7, 2016, aboard the 'Isaac Newton' at Borg Havn in Frederikstad, a worker sustained a significant head injury during loading operations involving a 7,000-tonne cable. The incident occurred when a large drum, which was being handled by four crew members laying the cable, unexpectedly slipped and struck one of the workers in the head. Emergency services promptly responded, and a helicopter transported the injured individual to Kalnes for medical attention. Fortunately, he was reported in stable condition shortly after the accident and remained under observation.
