A coincidence regarding the collapse of numerous big cranes reportedly happened this afternoon on the Grand Bahamas Shipyard in Freeport, the Bahamas, involving the Oasis of the Seas, resulting in the injury of numerous shipyard workers. The video was taken after the twist of fate of the Royal Caribbean cruise ship and the surrounding dock. The cruise ship was taken into dry dock for refurbishment at the shipyard in Freeport. A newspaper in the Bahamas, the Tribune, mentioned the twist of fate, mentioning that the dockworker who took the video described the scene after the incident as follows:
“Working at the huge Oasis, the ship collapsed, the dock collapsed, the crane collapsed. A couple of human beings would possibly not realize that, be lacking. I became right there on the dock, operating, and just ignored it through the grace of God. Massive coincidence, big coincidence. Something the Shipyard will in no way continue to exist from this one. The dock is long past; the dock is finished. All the cranes collapsed. Big, large, massive disaster. Big, huge, large disaster. Disaster, catastrophe, catastrophe. I’ve by no means seen whatever like this in my lifetime.”
The Tribune suggested that in step with the police, “there had been numerous accidents, none of the concept to be life-threatening.” The Bahamas Press, which aired the films, no longer affirmed whether or not there had been injuries. Royal Caribbean released a press statement confirming harm to the dock and crane and declaring that it is assessing whether or not there’s damage to the ship and accidents to employees on the scene.
Royal Caribbean’s Chief Meteorologist James Van Fleet came about to be on the Oasis of the Seas, considering that its ultimate cruise took a video this morning of the drydock operations in Freeport. I doubt that we will see any additional video of the dry dock nowadays. April 1, 2019 Update: In the next announcement, Royal Caribbean states that “shipyard management informs us of eight injuries, none of which can be taken into consideration life-threatening.”
April 2, 2019 Update: A variety of images have been published online on social media and are available for viewing right here. April three, 2019 Update: Royal Caribbean stated that it canceled the sailing dates for April 7, 14, and 21. The cruise line informed clients that all and sundry scheduled to move on the canceled trips would get hold of a complete refund, in conjunction with a hundred percent destination cruise certificates to apply towards a distinctive sail date. Travel Weekly reports that the Oasis of the Seas will leave the Grand Bahamas backyard to be repaired at a shipyard in Cadiz, Spain.
