A sailor died in a Hong Kong industrial accident early on Wednesday after he was hit by a metal shackle that had broken loose while working on a cargo vessel docked at a Tsing Yi container terminal.

Police believe the 21-year-old man from Myanmar was securing a shipping container with a cable wire aboard the vessel berthed at the terminal off Tsing Yi Hong Wan Road. The wire was connected to the metal shackle, a type of fastening device used to help shift the containers.
