Crane Catches Fire During Cargo Unloading at Mumbai Port, Two Operators Injured
A crane caught fire at Mumbai Port on Sunday evening during the unloading of a 140-ton cargo from the Barbados-flagged vessel Vienna. The fire was triggered after a lifting strap slipped, causing the cargo's weight to shift onto a second crane, which then struck the vessel. Two crane operators, Ranjeet Singh and Nishant Singh, were injured and taken to St George Hospital. Firefighters extinguished the blaze, and an inquiry has been launched to determine the exact cause. Damage estimates and insurance details remain unclear.
