Injuries and fatalities are still occurring due to entry into enclosed onboard spaces, the London P&I Club says.
These spaces include cargoholds on bulk carriers where atmospheres have not been treated as potentially dangerous.
Carl Durow, London Club’s loss prevention manager, said: “Despite the recent introduction of legislation to drill requirements for personnel engaged in entry into enclosed spaces, the club is still concerned about the number of spaces which should be considered potentially dangerous but may not be by crew who might focus on the traditional spaces such as ballast tanks and bunker tanks.”
