In its latest earnings report, AP Møller-Mærsk revealed that six fatalities occurred across its business lines in the first half of the year.
Maersk told Seatrade Maritime News that it could notpublish full details of the fatalities, but that they comprised three Maersk employees and three third party employees working on Maersk premises.
The third party contractor fatalities all occurred in Los Angeles; two truck drivers and one crane mechanic died at a terminal belonging to APMT.
Two Maersk colleagues died in a ferry incident in Tangier, said Maersk. The colleagues both worked for Svitzer. The sixth fatality occurred in Indonesia during a road traffic accident on a journey between port and warehouse.
“The sad cases are of course all under investigation to derive learnings and prevent repetition respectively in some cases this has been concluded already,” a spokesperson told WPO.
