I have no context but apparently fell over due to rolling I’m assuming that’s the list it’s put on as a result
That's what happened, I saw it reported but couldn't make sense of it.

Orkney Shetland ferry load has broke its bindings to the lorry trailer and fallen off in bad weather.

I think they are being way too optimistic MAIB, HSE and survey will all want to be there and get all there info and data, the deck will have to be dye penned for cracks etc and various other inspections conducted.
Thanks.

High load, small foot print, suspect a fairly high CoG too. Lorry lashed to the deck, load not.

Truck driver should be done for an unsafe load, and it would be easier and cheaper to drag the flattened motors out of the way, move the truck sideways, and right the machine I would imagine

Hmmm yes easier but you have to remember you not on solid ground that dosent move or shift with weight transfer. Safety and causing no more damage to the vessel would be main priorities.

I agree, but cutting it up is not without risk, unless they will dismantle it with spanners.

Tis a pity they chained the trailer only, and not the load to the deck as well, that's going to be a interesting insurance claim on who's at fault.
Surely the truck driver wouldn't normally be expected to chain the load for unknown weather conditions at sea, causing extra sea roll/swell loadings, the drivers load chaining is for road stress conditions/loading only?.....

The ferries load master should be ultimately responsible for load deck safety.
@KimB input, please.

Judging by the color it's a Powerscreen. Irish make of screens and crushers from Dungannon.
Hauled a lot of those in my heavy haulage days.
The crushe was on rubber mats so the driver did that right. I can't make out if he used the correct lashing points on the chassis of the crusher or just hooked the chains on the tracks like a lot of drivers do. You need good taught chains on sturdy lashing points.
The slightest bit of give and the chains go pop when the load moves.
