What happened? 

Unsafe positioning during berthing - On a vessel approaching the jetty for berthing, crew took their positions for mooring operations. While the vessel was approximately 3m from the jetty, an AB at the stern stepped out to the very edge of the main deck near the bitts to get a clearer view of the distance between the vessel and the jetty, and putting himself at risk of falling overboard between the vessel and the quay.
