Two workers die after falling into the sea while working at Tuas Port. PSA Singapore says the men were performing stevedoring work when they fell into the water.
Stevedoring involves loading and unloading cargo from ships at port facilities. Channel NewsAsia reports that the workers fall during the course of their stevedoring tasks, while The Straits Times likewise describes the incident as occurring during sea-based work at the port. Both outlets attribute the workers’ deaths to the fall into the sea and provide the same general account of the activity being carried out at the time.
