The coroner's concerns
1. goods lift without door limit switch
“The Deputy Commissioner of Maritime Affairs for the Republic of the Marshall Islands made recommendations for the relevant goods lift on MV Moonray not to be brought back into service until door limit switches were installed. There has been no confirmation that this recommendation has been acted upon.”
2. goods lifts without door limit switches on similar ships
“It appears to me possible that other ships of the same design may also have goods lifts installed without door limit switches being installed and so there is the potential risk of injury or death if they are operated in similar circumstances. There is no confirmation that Marine Safety Advisory No. 20-13 issued on 26 May 2016 has been implemented.”
