On or about March 31, 2019, at the JAXPORT Marine Terminal, Dock JGIT, Pier 34/35, while conducting cargo loading operations for Motor Vessel Zim Tianjin, an intermodal shipping container was hoisted before all engaged chassis twist locks (to include chassis pin locks) were released, exposing employees to struck-by and crushing hazards.
