Tanker crew member pulled from water off Boston after falling overboard has died



 



Boston — A crew member of the tanker ship MTM Dublin, who fell overboard in the early hours of Tuesday morning, has tragically lost their life, as confirmed by the Suffolk County District Attorney’s office on Wednesday.

 

The incident occurred around 4:30 a.m. when the man fell off the MTM Dublin and was swiftly rescued by the crew of a commercial fishing vessel. The Coast Guard promptly transported him to shore for urgent medical attention. The identity of the deceased crew member has not been disclosed.

 


The search operation unfolded in challenging conditions, shrouded in darkness and battling rough seas in the vicinity of Boston Harbor. The America, being the first vessel on the scene, located the crew member with great fortune, described Petty Officer Lyric Jackson, a Coast Guard spokesperson.

 

"We’re really fortunate that he was located. It's hard to explain how, but we did. We just happened to spot his orange vest in the water," remarked Captain Bryant Moulton of the America.

 

John Abraham, a fisherman and friend of the America’s crew, likened the search with flashlights to finding a needle in a haystack. He stated, "That’s all they had. Some of the boats have large spotlights, but they didn’t have spotlights."

 


The crew member was unresponsive upon being rescued from the water, and immediate CPR efforts were initiated as the crews rushed him back to the harbor. He was subsequently transported to a local Boston hospital, according to a Boston EMS spokesperson.

 

Details regarding how the crew member fell overboard remain undisclosed; however, fellow crew members mentioned that it was a significant drop of approximately 40 feet into the water.

 


The MTM Dublin is a chemical tanker, contributing to the tragic incident that has left the maritime community in mourning.

  In the aftermath of recent military strikes conducted by U.S. and UK forces against Houthi rebels in Yemen, a comprehensive maritime advisory has been issued, strongly recommending all ships to avoid the Red Sea.

The military strikes specifically targeted key Houthi installations, prompting swift and resolute responses from the rebel group, who have pledged retaliation against what they perceive as "blatant aggression" by the U.S. and UK.   The UK Maritime Trade Organizations have reported an ongoing investigation into an incident southeast of Aden, Yemen, leading to the Combined Maritime Forces (CMF) advising ships to steer clear of the Bab al-Mandab area.
