When a Workboat Sinks at Anchor in Calm Water — Maritime Wrongful Death Claims for Crew Lost in Aquaculture Vessel Disasters A vessel that sinks at anchor, in calm weather, while its crew sleeps aboard — that is not an accident. That is a question. The question is what was wrong with the boat, who knew it, and who is responsible for putting eight men to sleep inside a hull that could not stay afloat. If you are reading this page because someone you love was aboard a vessel that went down — whether the Koñimo 1 in Chile’s Reloncaví Estuary or a crew boat in the Gulf, a supply vessel off the coast, or an aquaculture workboat anywhere — you are in the right place. We are Attorney911, The Manginello Law Firm. We handle maritime wrongful death and catastrophic injury cases. This page exists to tell you what the law actually says, what the companies are already doing, and what your family must do in the days that matter most — before the evidence and the witnesses are gone. The facts of this specific sinking are public: a catamaran-type salmon farming support vessel, the Koñimo 1, sank at approximately 4:00 AM on a Monday while anchored 70 meters from shore in the Reloncaví Estuary near Cochamó, in Chile’s Los Lagos region. The crew of eight had finished infrastructure maintenance work for Salmones Austral and was resting inside the vessel. Two crew members survived by swimming to shore. Three bodies…

Oban, Argyll and Bute County: Work Boat Sinks at Mooring — UK Maritime Law vs. US Admiralty Jurisdiction Explained If you found this page, you are probably holding two questions at once. The first is about what happened in the Sound of Kerrera on the morning of March 3, 2026 — a work boat, described by HM Coastguard as a tug boat, sank at its mooring off Oban while no one was on board. The second question is the one that actually keeps you up: what law protects me, or someone I love, when something goes wrong on the water? That second question is the reason this page exists. We are going to answer both, honestly and completely, because the difference between a maritime incident that falls under United Kingdom law and one that falls under United States admiralty jurisdiction is the single most important fact in any case on the water — and it is the fact most people never learn until it is too late. We are Attorney911 — The Manginello Law Firm, PLLC. We are a trial firm that handles catastrophic-injury and wrongful-death cases, including offshore and maritime injury claims under United States federal maritime law. This page is legal information, not legal advice. Contacting us is free and confidential. And what we are going to tell you up front is the thing most law firms will not: the sinking near Oban is not a United States personal injury case. It happened in Scottish waters. No one…

Offshore Platform Fire & Workplace Injury Attorneys, 10 Workers Injured When Fire Erupted on the ONGC Mumbai High SHP Platform in the Arabian Sea, Attorney911 with Ralph Manginello’s 27+ Years of Federal-Court Trial Practice, We Pursue the Platform Operators and Contractor Stacks Behind Offshore Rig Fires, We Secure the Fire-Detection Logs, Gas-Sensor Data and Platform CCTV Before the Overwrite Cycle Erases Them, Lupe Peña the Former Insurance-Defense Insider Who Knows How the Claims Machine Values and Denies Offshore Injury Cases, Maritime Burn, Smoke-Inhalation and Evacuation Injuries, the Firm Has Recovered $50M+ Total Including $2M+ in a Maritime Back-Injury Settlement, the Jones Act and General Maritime Law Protect Offshore Workers, Free 24/7 Consultation, No Fee Unless We Win, Hablamos Español, 1-888-ATTY-911

Mumbai Offshore Platform Fire: What It Means for Offshore Workers Under US Maritime Law You are reading this because a fire tore through an offshore oil platform and ten people were hurt. Maybe you work on a rig yourself, and the news out of the Arabian Sea made you think about what would happen to you and your family if the same thing happened on your platform. Maybe someone you love was injured in a platform fire in the Gulf of Mexico, and you are sitting in a hospital hallway at 2 a.m. trying to understand what rights they have. We are glad you found this page, and we are going to tell you everything we know. First, the honest truth about this specific incident. The fire at the SHP Platform in the Mumbai High field occurred in Indian territorial waters, on a platform owned and operated by Oil and Natural Gas Corporation, an Indian state-owned enterprise. Every claim arising from that fire is governed by Indian maritime law, Indian offshore petroleum regulations, and Indian labor and tort law. No United States court has jurisdiction over that incident. No American statute—the Jones Act, the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act, general maritime law of the United States—applies to it. If the injured workers or their families contacted an American law firm, the correct and honest answer would be that Indian maritime counsel is the right resource, not a US plaintiff firm. We would say so directly and help point them in…

What an Offshore Platform Fire Means for a Maritime Worker — and Why the Law That Protects You Depends on Where the Fire Happened If you are reading this because you were hurt in a platform fire — or because someone you love was — you are probably sitting in a hospital room or a kitchen at two in the morning, trying to understand what rights you actually have. The phone has not rung yet from a lawyer. Maybe it has rung from your employer’s claims department, and the voice on the other end sounded friendly. We need to tell you what that voice means, what your rights really are, and why the answer depends entirely on one question: whose waters were you standing in when the fire started. Ten workers were injured in a fire on ONGC’s SHP offshore platform, a production installation on the Mumbai High oil field roughly 160 kilometers off the coast of India. The fire broke out around 5:45 pm local time. ONGC’s emergency response teams contained and extinguished the blaze before it could spread to other platform infrastructure. All ten injured workers were reported in stable condition with what were described as minor injuries. Normal production resumed shortly after the incident. The cause of the fire has not been disclosed, and ONGC said it would release further details once its internal investigation was complete. Here is what we want you to understand before anything else: that fire happened in Indian territorial waters, on an…

ONGC Mumbai High Platform Fire — What Happened and What It Means for Offshore Workers Everywhere You are reading this because fire broke out on a platform in the Arabian Sea, and ten people were hurt — or because you work offshore and you need to know what would happen if it were you. Either way, you need the truth about what the law does and does not cover when a platform catches fire 180 kilometers from the nearest shore. We are going to give you all of it — the facts of what happened at the ONGC SHP platform on the Mumbai High field, the safety regime that was supposed to prevent it, the medical reality of fire injuries at sea, the evidence that is already disappearing, and the hard jurisdictional truth about who can sue whom and where. Nothing held back. That is what this page is for. The ONGC SHP platform sits on the Mumbai High asset — one of India’s largest and oldest offshore hydrocarbon production complexes, operating in the Arabian Sea since the 1970s. On this day, fire broke out aboard the platform. Ten personnel sustained injuries. ONGC confirmed the fire was brought under control and extinguished. All ten injured workers were reported under medical care and in stable condition. The injuries were described as minor. No fatalities were reported. BP had been retained as an international technical services provider for production growth at the Mumbai High field in the year before the incident. If…

Offshore Platform Fire & Workplace Industrial Accident Attorneys — Ten Workers Injured When Fire Ignited on ONGC’s SHP Platform in the Mumbai High Field 160 Km Off India’s Western Coast, Attorney911 Brings Ralph Manginello’s 27+ Years of Federal-Court Trial Practice to Offshore Oil-Rig Fire Litigation, We Pursue the Platform Operator and the Service Contractors Behind the Ignition, We Secure the Gas-Detection System Logs, Fire-Suppression Records and SCADA Data Before the Overwrite Cycle Erases Them, Lupe Peña the Former Insurance-Defense Insider Who Knows How the Claims Machine Values and Denies Offshore Injury Cases, the Firm Has Recovered Millions in Maritime and Industrial Injury Matters — Free 24/7 Consultation, No Fee Unless We Win, Hablamos Español, 1-888-ATTY-911

What Happened on the SHP Platform — and What It Means for the Ten Workers Who Were There If you were on the SHP Platform when the fire broke out at 17:45 on a Friday afternoon, or if someone you love was one of the ten workers who got hurt, you are reading this at a moment when the most important decisions are the ones made in the first days, not the first months. You are standing 160 kilometers from the nearest shore, on a structure that was supposed to be built to keep you safe, and the company that runs it has already said the fire is “under control,” the injuries are “minor,” and operations have “normalized” by Saturday morning. That speed — the rush to call it over — is the first thing that should make you slow down. We are Attorney911. We are a trial firm built for the moment everything goes wrong. Ralph Manginello has spent 27-plus years in courtrooms, including federal court, and before he was a lawyer he was a journalist — which means he learned early that the first story told is rarely the whole story. Lupe Peña spent years inside a national insurance-defense firm, the rooms where claims like yours are priced and minimized, before he switched to this side of the table. He knows what the company’s people do in the first 48 hours because he used to do it. Both of us speak Spanish — we serve your family fully…

Offshore Platform Lifeboat Accidents: When the Equipment Meant to Save Lives Becomes the Killer You are reading this because someone you love went to work on an offshore platform and did not come home — or came home broken. Maybe it was a lifeboat that fell from a platform deck into the sea, the way it did at Platform Sepat in the Terengganu-Kelantan waters off Malaysia, where three workers died and one survived with serious fractures when a lifeboat plunged during a routine maintenance descent at 12:50 in the afternoon. Maybe it happened somewhere else, in different waters, on a different rig. The location changes. The physics do not. What you need to know right now is this: a lifeboat is supposed to be the thing that saves you when everything else goes wrong on a platform. When the lifeboat itself is what kills you — during a maintenance operation, not even an emergency — the questions that follow are not simple, and they are not answered by the first settlement check the company offers. They are answered by evidence that is already beginning to disappear, by an investigation the platform operator is already controlling, and by a legal framework that shifts depending on whose waters the platform sits in. We are the trial team at Attorney911 — The Manginello Law Firm. We handle offshore injury, workplace death, and maritime catastrophe cases. Ralph Manginello has spent 27 years in courtrooms, including federal court, building cases against companies that sent workers…

FSO Sepat Lifeboat Accident: When the Safety Equipment Becomes the Killer You are reading this because someone you love went to work on an offshore platform and did not come home. Or they came home broken. And right now you are sitting at a kitchen table somewhere, looking at a phone, trying to understand how four men climbing into a lifeboat for routine maintenance ended up plunging into the sea — three of them never surfacing alive again. We are going to tell you what we know about what happened at the FSO Sepat facility off the coast of Terengganu, Malaysia, on May 24, 2026. We are going to tell you what the law says — not just Malaysian law, but the international maritime safety framework that governs every lifeboat on every offshore platform on earth. We are going to tell you what evidence is dying right now, what the company is already doing to protect itself, and what the real path to accountability looks like when an offshore accident crosses national borders. What we will not do is pretend this is simple. It is not. Three men — Ahmad Fiqri Zakaria, 38, Muhammad Faezuan Hakim Mohammad Bustamam, 28, and Nik Muhammad Hafifi Asri Ab Majid, 37 — were pronounced dead at Hospital Sultanah Nur Zahirah in Kuala Terengganu. A fourth, Mohd Taufik Mohd Ruslan, 37, survived with severe fractures and remains hospitalized. All four were contract workers performing routine maintenance on a lifeboat when the ropes or hooks securing…

Singapore Supply Vessel Sinks After Collision — Three Crew Dead, One Question That Decides Everything If you are reading this because someone you love was aboard that supply vessel off Pasir Panjang Terminal on the morning of June 12, 2026, we want you to hear one thing before anything else: the full picture of why that vessel sank and why your loved one did not come home has not been established yet. The investigation is in its earliest hours. The first narrative — whatever the initial reports suggest happened — is never the whole story, and you should not accept it without scrutiny. What we can tell you right now, with certainty, is that maritime death claims are governed by a complex overlay of international law, the vessel’s flag state, the operating company’s nationality, and the crew member’s own nationality. Determining which legal regime applies to your family’s claim is the single most important early question — and it requires prompt legal counsel before evidence is lost to the ocean and to time. Three crew members of the sunken supply vessel were recovered from the waters off Pasir Panjang. The landing craft involved in the collision remained stable with no injuries reported among its crew. Diving teams were deployed to determine whether additional crew members remain missing. The Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore, the Police Coast Guard, and the Singapore Civil Defence Force Marine Division launched coordinated search and rescue operations. Port operations were not disrupted. Navigational safety broadcasts…

Drone Strike on Kuwait’s Offshore Oil Platform Injures Worker After Attacks on Northern Border Posts — Defense Base Act Rights for Americans Injured in War-Zone Oil Operations, Attorney911 with Ralph Manginello’s 27+ Years of Federal-Court Trial Practice, We Pursue Every DBA Pathway When a Hostile Drone Targets Civilian Oil Infrastructure in Kuwait’s Territorial Waters, Lupe Peña the Former Insurance-Defense Insider, We Secure Platform Damage Forensics and Worker Medical Records Before Evidence Is Lost in an Active Conflict Zone, Millions Recovered in Catastrophic Injury Cases — Free 24/7 Consultation, No Fee Unless We Win, Hablamos Español, 1-888-ATTY-911

Offshore Platform Worker Injuries in War Zones — What American Workers Need to Know If you are reading this page, someone you love may be working on an offshore oil platform, a military base, or a construction site in a country where the sound of incoming drones is no longer hypothetical. You saw the news — border posts struck, an offshore drilling platform hit, a worker carried off for treatment — and now you are sitting at a kitchen table at 2 a.m. trying to understand what rights exist when an American worker is hurt on foreign soil in a military conflict. That is the question this page exists to answer. We are Attorney911, and we built this page because almost no one in the legal industry talks honestly about what happens when a US contractor is injured in a war zone. The truth is complicated, the law is narrow, and the window to protect your family can be shorter than you think. We are going to tell you everything we know — including the parts that are hard to hear — because that is what a person in your situation deserves. What Happened in the Kuwait Offshore Platform Attack Public reporting from July 2026 confirms that three northern Kuwaiti border posts and an offshore drilling platform operated by Kuwait Oil Company in Kuwait’s territorial waters came under coordinated attack. A Kuwaiti Defense Ministry spokesman described the border-post strikes as a “treacherous act of aggression” that caused material damage, and…
