Initially, there was a concern that someone might have been caught under the grain.

They had counted in their staff, but since other people also move around in the harbor area, there was a fear that someone had ended up under the grain, says Melissa Millbourne, duty officer at the rescue service, to the magazine.

The rescue service's operation at the site was completed at around 14.30 on Monday.
