Careless loading of cargo containers sinks ship in Iran port
Iranian state TV says careless loading of cargo has capsized a ship in the southern port of Bandar Abbas, sending port workers scrambling to retrieve any of the 153 containers that were suddenly submerged.
The report says only one Indian seaman aboard the Comoros-owned LS Star was injured in the foot in the incident on Monday.
Mehdi Haghshenas, deputy chief of Iran’s Ports and Maritime Organization, tells the TV the ship was not being loaded properly and that there was “poor coordination between the ship’s first officer and the crane operator” lifting the containers on board.
