A Filipino crew member suffered serious injuries after falling several meters while working aboard a cruise ship anchored off the Greek island of Spetses, according to local authorities.

The accident took place on Friday aboard a Maltese-flagged cruise ship. The 43-year-old seafarer, who was serving as a helmsman, reportedly lost his footing and fell from a height of around three meters.

According to* Argolida Planet*, the fall caused injuries to his head and spine, triggering an immediate emergency response from the ship’s crew and local authorities.

The injured crew member was given first aid on board before being safely transferred ashore to the port at Kosta, Argolida. From there, an ambulance operated by Greece’s National Emergency Center (EKAB) transported him to the General Hospital of Nafplio, where he underwent medical examinations and was admitted for further treatment.

The Spetses Port Authority has opened a preliminary investigation to determine the circumstances surrounding the onboard workplace accident.
