Lifeboat release hook failure, passenger ferry Northern Ranger, Nain, Newfoundland and Labrador, 11 October 2017.: TU3-12/17-0391E-PDF
"On 11 October 2017, the starboard lifeboat of the passenger ferry Northern Ranger was undergoing operational testing at the dock in Nain, Newfoundland and Labrador, when its forward release hook failed. While the crew members were lifting the lifeboat to the vessel’s embarkation deck, the forward release hook suddenly released and the lifeboat swung downward, bow first, and hung over the water from the aft release hook and fall. Four crew members were on board the lifeboat at the time of the occurrence. One of the crew members fell through the lifeboat’s forward hatch and into the water; the other 3 crew members remained inside. All 4 crew members were recovered and their injuries were treated in hospital"--Summary, page 1.
