This looks like a Boom winch brake or gear failure. The load barely missed the supply vessel . The crane operator should have been taught, to move the load over the water as soon as he cleared the deck. Not only heavy loads, but all loads. Including personnel baskets, etc.
By the high pitch screaming sound at the point of failure, I would guess a mechanical (gearbox / hyd. motor) or hydraulic (valve / burst hose) failure on the luffing winch. Looked like the CO was luffing up at the time so the band brake would be open - maybe if he had released the lever, the brake might have closed and saved it. Be interesting to see the outcome of the accident report.
I had a boom faiure picking a large tower for a 500kv line. Was booming up and released the lever, the boom started spooling down, so I engaged the lever to the up position to hold it then locked the pawl. Was a small spring on the break. It was a friction rig. Almost stood it on it's nose. Saved weeks of down time and several $100,000's
Actually got me really dumb found i have worked on shipping containers by far heavy weights lifting why such a out reach unfortunately bad operating system especially bad management
This sounds like a faulty brake or gear on the Boom winch.
Bad maintenance.

I worked offshore for 2 years. My very first hitch out, the crane that put us on the rig broke and did this my 2nd day out there.

nice
Did you Brake the Break? 😂
It needed a wash anyway.
Was anyone hurt or killed in this accident
Just the generators pixies, they all drowned
Well, that'll create some paperwork.
No , everything done online these days
Sad
. No pre start checks and operational conducted prior
