## Narrative

A deck engineer was using an endless loop rope to moor a tender vessel to a dredge. The rope was secured to the port side cleat at the stern of the vessel. The dredge was in its cut, moving away from the vessel. As the engineer brought the rope over the cleat, a finger on his left hand was caught between the cleat and the inside of the rope. The fingernail and flesh from the first digit were amputated.
