Tuas shipyard accident: Search for worker who fell into sea called off

A Bangladeshi worker went missing after he fell into the sea off Tuas on Monday when part of a concrete pier at Keppel Shipyard collapsed.

The search for the 38-year-old man, which lasted about two days, was called off last night, said the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) in response to queries.

Another worker also fell into the sea but was rescued.

He and three other workers were taken to hospital and treated for minor injuries. Two of them are Bangladeshi workers aged 29 and 31, one is a 48-year-old Chinese national, and the other is a 40-year-old Singaporean.

All four are in stable condition, said the Ministry of Manpower (MOM).

The missing worker, employed by Kumarann Marine, was on the pier when the accident occurred at 10.40am on Monday, the ministry said.

A crane - which was on the section of the pier that collapsed - toppled and ended up with part of its structure in the sea.

MOM is investigating the cause of the accident at 51 Pioneer Sector 1 and has stopped all work at the pier.

In photos of the incident circulated on social media, the crane can be seen next to a large vessel berthed at the shipyard.
