A Chinese man died while working at the Hon Phao Anchorage on the northern coastal province of Quang Ninh’s Ha Long Beach.

Cargo is unloaded from a vessel at Hai Phong Port.

Wan Ping, 45, was the deputy captain of vessel Le Ye. While inspecting cargo at the vessel’s storage facility, wood lying in the storage fell on him. 

He died shortly after receiving emergency treatment, Hoang Van Hoan, head of Quang Ninh Port Authority’s Marine Safety and Inspection Office, said.

Le Ye was in the process of offloading its cargo before returning to Hai Phong Port.

The provincial police are working with the authority to conduct the autopsy and investigate the accident.
