Potential Dropped Object

4kg Shackle left on top of a backloaded mud skip.

After removing the lashings from backloaded cargo to be ready for discharge in port, a large 4kg shackle was placed on top of a mud skip by vessel crew and was forgotten about with the unit subsequently being discharged to shore. One day later the question was asked to the vessel if the shackle belonged to them.
