IMCA - Container door opened during transit

A third-party workshop container containing equipment was offloaded from a vessel.

Whilst in transit back to the supplier the truck driver noticed the container door swing open whilst the truck was moving. The truck driver was able to pull over safely and proceeded to secure the container door with straps. As a result of the door opening, a 36kg cable reel had fallen onto the back of the lorry. The general public were exposed to a risk from our members’ operations.
