A ship pilot at the Port of Lisbon in Portugal has died after falling into the water while disembarking from a containership early Wednesday morning.
The Lisbon Port Authority confirmed the passing of pilot Barra Miguel Conceição in a Facebook post.
According to reports on the incident, Mr. Conceição was disembarking from the Hong Kong-flagged MV Singapore Express in Cascais Bay when he fell into the water.

The incident is under investigation.
The Singapore Express is sailing from Lisbon to Tanger-Med in Morocco.
