Maritime Monster All Jobs Moored Here
On Saturday, three men were killed and one was injured aboard a rig off Malaysia during maintenance work on a lifeboat, according to Ekonomi Rakyat.
At about 1250 hours Saturday afternoon, four contractors boarded a lifeboat for a maintenance check at the Sepat FSO unit off the east coast of peninsular Malaysia, a busy region or offshore oil and gas production. A parted wire rope or hook system mishap (initial accounts differ) caused it to fall into the water below, according to local media accounts.
The deceased have been identified as Ahmad Fikri Zakaria, 38; Nik Muhammad Hafifi Asri Ab Majid, 37; and Muhammad Faezuan Hakim Mohammad Bustamam, 28, according to the New Straits Times.
