According to published reports, Pelican Offshore Services and Navigazione Montanari S.p.A. of Italy have settled a Jones Act lawsuit brought by an injured mooring master. The settlement is reported as being $1,975,000.
The reports indicate that the injured mooring master was hurt off the coast of Corpus Christi while on board the M/V VALTAMED. He was participating in offloading operations while the vessel was lightering.
The injury occurred when the operator of the crane hoisted up and back on the crane's hook while it was still attached to the side rail. The rail broke and a metal bar flew across the deck and hit the mooring master.
The mooring master suffered a closed head injury, double vision, eye fractures, headaches, and other associated injuries.

The ship was owned by Navigazione Montanari S.p.A. of Italy and the crane operator was employed by that company.
The crane operator had not been certified or trained to operate cranes.
The case was styled Bryan D. Wise v. Pelican Offshore Services and was pending in Jefferson County, Texas, Judge Milton Shuffield presiding.
