A 21 year old man from Capelle aan den IJssel has died on the 'Huangyan Spirit' at the Botlek Terminal in Rotterdam on Sep 22, 2025, at 8.30 a.m., while the ship was unloading aluminum blocks at the facility of the C. Steinweg Group at the Professor Gerbrandy Way. The victim was found in the cargo hold, at a depth of 15 meters. He had been working there with colleagues. The employee was buried under a load of aluminum blocks. Emergency services rushed to the scene, but their efforts to save his life were unsuccessful. An investigation has been launched. In June, two people also died in the hold of a ship while unloading steel plates. Two others were seriously injured. One of the fatalities was also a young employee. In 2018, a student from the STC (Shipping and Handling Centre) died the Steinweg terminal in Europoort. Following the accident in June, the FNV Havens (Dutch Ports Federation) called on the Labour Inspectorate to intervene at the transshipment company. According to the union, there have been seven fatalities at Steinweg since 2017. With the latest accident, that number now has risen to eight. The 'Huangyan Spirit' remained stationary in Rotterdam as of Sep 24.
