Port-Nou Terminal was the setting of an emergency drill that served to evaluate the efficiency of the Personnel Cage model BA-185 of the company TEC CONTAINER, S.A.
The emergency drill took place in the Port of Barcelona, in cooperation with the Emergency Services of Estibarna-Fremap, the Port Police, Estibarna y Prevestiba and proved the functionality of the new Personnel Cage, and the coordination of the emergency teams.
The performed drill involved the rescuing of a port stevedore in a practice accident on board of a vessel, and was carried out according to the programme of activities prepared by Prevestiba, joint prevention service of the stowage sector of the Port of Barcelona, together with stowage companies, Estibarna and the prevention delegates.
The Personnel Cage was initially designed for use in emergency cases, medical-care personnel entrance, and for evacuation of casualties out of the vessels in case of accidents. However, these are only some of the applications of the Personnel Cage designed and commercialized by TEC CONTAINER, S.A. Originally conceived for stowage operations, its high versatility has amplified the range of applications with such as repair works in areas of difficult access in vessels.
