MARITIME ACCIDENTS
Accidents on Tugboats
Tugboats are those which help move huge
ships to enter docks. They are small in nature but
are powerful to ensure that the large vessels are
handled safely. But sometimes because of the
blockage of the visibility of tugboats by the larger
vessels, maritime accidents occur. Also, human
error on the part of the pilot of the tugboat can also
lead to unwanted and unexpected tugboat mishaps.
Accidents on Oil Tankers
The major cause of accidents on tankers is
explosions. Since the very nature of the materials . these tankers transport is dangerous and highly
flammable, even the most minor of explosions can
cause enormous losses. According to statistics, one
of the main reasons for oil tanker accidents
occurring is because of workers' negligence -
nearly 84-88%.
