A worker has died and another has been injured in an accident at Germany’s Blohm+Voss shipyard.

The incident reportedly took place while the men were on a scaffold around the 28,600-gt Fred Olsen cruiseship Black Watch (built 1992).

Firefighters said a support came loose and trapped one of the men, according to the Hamburger Abendblatt newspaper.

The second victim was also hit and was taken to hospital with a serious injury.
