M/Y Ocean Victory Crewmember Dies in Freak Accident
In devastating news, a 30-something Bulgarian crewmember died after his legs were nearly severed by an anchor chain during a freak accident on Fincantieri’s 140-meter M/Y Ocean Victory on Sunday around 2 p.m., according to local reports.
Located at Mu Ko Similan National Park, the yacht was reportedly lowering its anchor in front of Koh Tachai when the anchor chain accidentally wrapped around the crewmember’s legs above his knees, causing critical injuries and massive blood loss.
Royal Thai Navy Chief Petty Officer Watcharin Promruang of the Third Naval Area Command told the Phuket Gazette that the crewmember was rushed to Thap Lamu Pier in Phang Nga on the yacht’s speedboat and then transported to the Bangkok Phuket Hospital, where he was pronounced dead upon arrival.
Police confirmed they would contact the Bulgarian embassy to notify the man’s family of his death, and until it’s been confirmed the relatives have received word, Dockwalk will be withholding the crewmember’s name out of respect.

The trauma of tragedy
Nearly three months after the tragic death on board fincantieri's 140m 'ocean victory', we ask if the industry does enough to support its crew in the aftermath of these, unfortunately not unheard of, incidents. ….
As with any safety incident or, in this particular case, fatality, the superyacht industry tends to focus on the what and why of the incident. While this is not necessarily a bad thing, providing the approach is respectful, very little acknowledgement is given to those crewmembers who must remain on board after being witness to such a tragic and, in most cases, emotionally traumatic incident.
Following the death of a third officer on board Fincantieri's 140m motor yacht Ocean Victory in March 2016, maritime union Nautilus International has been voicing its support of the crew throughout the investigation that is currently underway, such as their physical presence alongside the crew during the process. (One media report has suggested the union is pushing for the owner of the superyacht to charged with manslaughter due to an insistence to sail to land rather than receive an emergency helicopter for treatment, however Nautilus International has responded to us strongly suggesting this is not the case and that “we must not jump to any conclusions”.) What fewer reports have taken note of, however, is the union’s emotional support system in place for the crew in the aftermath of the incident, an absolutely pertinent factor that is so often forgotten as the breaking news headlines fizzle out.
"They were expected to go back to full service almost immediately."
“The emotional and mental impact something like this has on the crew always needs to be considered. Of course there is the impact on the deceased’s family and how it will affect them, but there is also the impact on the crew who have had to deal with an incident they would never have expected to deal with in their life. Unfortunately, it’s often the crew who are left to deal with the situation,” explains Danny McGowan, senior assistant organiser at Nautilus International.
Multiple crew on board Ocean Victory were members of the union when the incident took place (as opposed to the one, which another report suggests), and contacted the union because “they felt the support from the vessel and its senior officers immediately [after the incident] was inadequate”. McGowan explains, “They called us to see what they could do about it and how we could help them come to terms with it, because they were expected to go back to full service almost immediately. It’s understandable from the owner’s point of view, but there’s the human element that if you’ve seen a close team member suffer a traumatic or fatal injury, you can’t just go back to work straight away, it’s impossible.”

Subsequently, Nautilus International, after dealing with repatriation for those who wanted it, referred them to industry-appropriate councillors, who could understand the details of the incident, which involved a safety failure in the anchor chain locker (the Cayman Islands has released a flyer with more information pertaining to the incident, which can be downloaded here ), without the crewmembers having to go into detail for those unfamiliar with the industry, which in turn could cause them additional distress.
While we would hope no other incident with such tragic results would occur, it would be unrealistic to have such an optimistic view of the superyacht industry’s safety culture. What we can hope for, however, is that the next time an incident occurs that would leave its crew emotionally traumatised, more people within the industry, whether this be senior crew on board, yacht managers, or anyone else potentially involved, better understand the impact this could have on those remaining on board.

Superyacht anchor chain kills crew member
- Jamey Bergman
The chain wrapped around the sailor's legs, nearly severing them.
A crewman on board a Russian billionaire’s superyacht has died after the boat’s anchor chain nearly severed both his legs.
The Bulgarian man, Toni Hristov Kolev, reportedly was caught up in the anchor chain as it was being retracted by a winch when the Ocean Victory yacht raised anchor.
Kolev, 33, died after he was rushed to Bangkok Hospital Phuket in Phuket, Thailand. He reportedly lost a great deal of blood from deep gashes caused by the force of the anchor chain and became unconscious.
The 140m superyacht was anchored in the Similan Islands National Park, north of Phuket when the incident occurred around 2pm, local time.
The yacht’s crew reportedly notified the Royal Thai Navy’s Third Naval Area Command at 2:30pm, while Kovlev was being taken by speedboat to the nearest pier. He was then transferred to an ambulance and taken to hospital, where he was pronounced dead on arrival.
Phuket police told the Phuket News that they have concluded an investigation into the event, ruling that it was an accident.
The Ocean Victory yacht is owned by Victor Rashnikov, 67, a billionaire in the Russian steel business. The yacht was built at Fincantieri shipyard in 2014 and is one of the world’s largest. Forbes lists Rashnikov as the 23rd richest man in Russia and the 403rd richest man in the world, estimating his personal wealth at $4.3 billion.

First details released on Ocean Victory fatality
A shipping notice has been released by the Maritime Authority of the Cayman Islands, outlining the investigation of an incident which led to the death of a third officer on board the Fincantieri 140m superyacht, Ocean Victory.
The report explained that a third officer and deckhand were assigned to the superyacht’s forward mooring station to anchor the vessel, on command of the captain. Communication was established between the mooring station and bridge by radio, and in addition, the captain could observe activity in the mooring station via the vessel’s CCTV.
The report detailed that the windlass brake was applied and clutch disengaged in preparation for “letting go” the anchor. As the anchor was dropped, the third officer was controlling the paying out of the chain with the windlass brake, while the deck hand monitored the orientation of the chain in the water.
Four shackles were in the water when the chain was stopped. The captain requested a total of five shackles in the water, and so the third officer continued paying out the anchor chain. The report states that at this point, the windlass brake “failed catastrophically”, and the chain began to run out in an uncontrolled manner.
When all nine shackles had run out, the bitter end failed and the loose end of the chain left the chain locker and struck the third officer. The third officer as a result suffered “extremely severe injuries” from the force of being struck by the loose anchor chain. Tragically, despite “prompt and comprehensive medical treatment being administered by the on board emergency response team”, the third officer died of his injuries.
The report then states that the cause(s) of the failure of the windlass brake is still under investigation, and at this stage it is “not possible to draw any definitive conclusions.”

A Bulgarian man has died in a shocking accident after the super-yacht's anchor chain almost severed off his legs in Thailand.
The 31-year-old man, who has not been identified, was working on board the Ocean Victory yacht when the accident took place at Mu Ko Similan National Park.
It is understood the man was lowering the anchor when the chain wrapped around his legs, just above the knee, causing substantial wounds to his legs.

140m superyacht Ocean Victory arrives in Auckland after battling storms
The 140 metre superyacht Ocean Victory — owned by billionaire steel magnate Viktor Rashnikov — has moored in Auckland, New Zealand after a tricky cruise from Fiji due to stormy conditions.
Ocean Victory was reportedly forced to make an unscheduled stop at the Whangaparaoa Peninsula on Saturday (July 18) after New Zealand’s winter weather prevented her from getting to Auckland's Viaduct Harbour.
After travelling from Suva, Ocean Victory had to moor just outside of Gulf Harbour marina, which can only accommodate yachts up to 55 metres. Ocean Victory was able to dock in Auckland Harbour on Monday morning after the worst of the weather had passed.
The largest yacht to be built in Italy, Ocean Victory comes in at number nine on the list of the top 200 largest yachts in the world . The details of the superyacht were kept hidden during her build at Fincantieri and the Italian yard did not release any photos of Ocean Victory until after she was delivered in December 2014.
The huge yacht was built to SOLAS regulations, which means that up to 36 guests can be accommodated. Ocean Victory has seven decks and her features include six pools, an underwater observation room, a 300 square metre spa area and a floodable tender garage. Her interior was designed by the late Alberto Pinto .
The arrival of Ocean Victory is likely to be welcomed by the Destination New Zealand Superyacht Attraction Initiative Group, which has set a target to attract 74 superyachts to the country annually by 2018.
Last season New Zealand celebrated a rise in the number of superyacht visits . In January 134 metre Serene , the twelfth largest yacht in the world, berthed in Auckland's Wynyard Wharf.
