OSLO WAVE - Collapse of vessel's crane

When loading wood packages, the ship’s crane jib was lowered to much. The wire couldn’t hold the jib, and the end of the jib fell down on the packages in the hold, close to where the stevedores were located. Nobody was injured, but the occurrence is rated as a close call to a very serious marine accident.
