Responding to queries from The Straits Times, an ExxonMobil spokesman said the incident occurred at a lubricant plant project site at 35 Shipyard Road, and the crane operator suffered some minor abrasions.
The crane was operated by contractor Huationg Holdings.
The ExxonMobil spokesman added: “Immediate medical attention was provided and a doctor has assessed him as fit to return to work.
“No one else was hurt.”
She said work at the project site was stopped after the incident.
