Abstract
The report focuses on mooring operations-related accidents, especially those involving mooring line partings for bulk carriers. It presents a case of a young seafarer who suffered severe injuries from a snap-back mooring line during disembarking. The causes of the accident, including factors like abnormal fendering compression and meteorological/hydrological conditions, are analyzed. Moreover, it discusses prevention measures for such accidents, treatment strategies for snap-back trauma which is a complex and multidisciplinary process, and key aspects regarding the long-term prognosis and quality of life of the cases. The study emphasizes the importance of establishing comprehensive plans and training programs due to the common occurrence of such accidents and their potentially severe consequences, as there's a lack of systematic reviews on on-site emergency care strategies in general.
