The management of Bai Bureh Ferry has confirmed that one of its crew members, Saidu Koroma, suffered a severe injury onboard the vessel on October 9, 2025.
According to a public notice, the incident occurred as the ferry was preparing to depart in line with the tidal schedule. The captain instructed the crew to stand by and ordered the engine to go astern. As the vessel moved, Koroma’s foot became entangled in a rope under high tension, resulting in a serious injury that led to the amputation of his right foot.
The injured sailor was promptly evacuated by speedboat to the Government Wharf Slipway and immediately transported for urgent medical attention.
The management expressed sincere regret over the accident and any inconvenience caused. It confirmed that it is closely monitoring Koroma’s condition and providing necessary support to ensure he receives the best care.
The notice also stated that an internal safety review is underway to identify additional preventive measures to avoid similar incidents in the future.
