Valenciaport carriers out rescue drill for a crane operator

The Port Authority of Valencia (PAV) has carried out a rescue practice of a crane operator in one of the port’s terminals to test the efficiency of the Self-Protection Plans of the PAV and the port community.

Specifically, the drill consisted of the rescue of a crane operator who was left unconscious inside the cabin of a crane in one of the terminals of the port area, due to the emission of smoke from the fire of some containers on a ship’s deck moored at one of the port’s docks, as well as the extinguishing of the fire.

The exercise, in which the Port of Valencia’s Self-Protection Plans were activated, served to check the effectiveness of these plans to improve actions in events involving ships berthed in the Spanish port, according to a statement.

The drill included personnel from the terminal, the Valencia Maritime Captaincy, Boluda Tugboats, the Valencia Fire Brigade, the Valencia Port Employment Centre ambulance, the Port Police and personnel from the Valencia Port Authority’s Emergency Control Centre.
