Mr Nabil's life jacket could have been ensnared with barnacles under a barge.
SINGAPORE - After performing his duties on a tugboat, PSA Marine’s harbour pilot Mohamed Nabil Mohamed Ghazali prepared to disembark from the vessel to return to his launch boat.
At the State Courts on June 13, Mr Nabil’s family, including his wife, heard that as he jumped, the two vessels collided and rebounded apart, which opened up a gap of between 1.5m and 2m. The coroner’s report found that the crew onboard the PSA Marine launch boat had not given the signal to Mr Nabil to come onboard as they were still in the process of adjusting the vessel’s position in relation to the tugboat.After he fell overboard, Mr Nabil’s life jacket had automatically inflated upon contact with the water. He was spotted floating in a conscious state by the crew on the launch boat.
