We can now confirm that the incident took place during a planned overload test to lift a 5,500 tonne barge, and that the hook block broke free with a load of approximately 2,600 tonnes. This caused the twin boom and jib to catapult back over the rear of the crane and crumple, injuring 12 people. Two were taken to hospital to have their injuries treated while a further 10 were treated by paramedics on site.
