Palau-flagged vessels in the top 2 of abandonment list- ITF 01/26/24 (Island Times)
by Island Times
Palau-flagged vessels are in the second place of ship abandonments leaving seafarers also abandoned.
The latest figure released by the International Transport Workers Federation (ITF) stated that there had been “alarming” new figures released by the International Transport Workers’ Federation (ITF) showing an alarming increase in cases of abandonment during the past year, with 132 abandonments reported.
Vessels flagged in Panama were most frequently abandoned, and Indian seafarers were the most affected nationality. Second is Palau, with 12 abandonments, followed closely by Cameroon-flagged vessels,
Steve Trowsdale, the ITF inspectorate coordinator, said: ‘The ongoing rise in the number of seafarer abandonments is unacceptable. It is a consequence of an industry where seafarers can be a throw-away commodity. Seafarers and their families pay the ultimate price for the greed and non-compliance of shipowners, enduring the inhuman consequences of a system that compromises their well-being, dignity, and basic human rights. ITF inspectors do an incredible job in holding to account those shipowners that try to get away with treating seafarers like some sort of modern-day slaves.’
Under the Maritime Labour Convention, Seafarers are deemed to have been abandoned if the shipowner fails to cover the cost of a seafarer’s repatriation; left seafarers without support, and failed to pay their wages.
Italian authorities seize cocaine worth €850 million from ship headed for Turkey 07/22/23 (MEDYA News)
Italian authorities have intercepted a record haul of 5.3 tonnes of cocaine, worth an estimated €850 million, off the coast of Sicily. Five individuals have been arrested in connection with the seizure. The ship, sailing under the flag of the Micronesian Island state of Palau, was tracked from South America and was destined for Turkey after offloading its illicit cargo to another ship.
Italian authorities have seized 5.3 tonnes of cocaine as it was being transferred between ships off the coast of Sicily, Reuters reported on Thursday.
The Guardia di Finanza arrested five people in relation to the drug haul worth an estimated 850 million euros ($946 million), after tracking a ship from South America.
Packages thrown off the deck were collected by a fishing vessel nearby, according to surveillance aircraft footage.
The ship was sailing under the flag of the pacific island of Palau, and was to head for Turkey after offloading its haul, police officials told BBC Turkish. The drugs were intended for the domestic market in Italy, they said. Crew on the ship held Turkish, Azerbaijani and Ukrainian citizenships, while the small fishing boat was manned by Italian, French and Albanian nationals.
Colonel Gianluca Angelini said the ship, named Plutus, could have set sail from Trinidad or Venezuela.
In 2021, in a now infamous series of tell-all videos, Turkish mafia boss Sedat Peker accused ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) heavyweight and former prime minister Binali Yıldırım of involvement with drug trafficking from Venezuela. According to Peker, Yıldırım’s son Erkam had travelled to the Caribbean coast to set up a new route for the cocaine after neighbouring Colombia and Panama ramped up operations and seized more than 5.6 tonnes of the illicit substance headed for Turkey.
Major drug busts in recent months include 2.3 tonnes of cocaine earmarked for Turkey seized in Peru in March, a 290 kg shipment of cocaine in a ship sailing from Brazil to Turkey in January, and an 850 kg shipment of cocaine in Ecuador, headed for the Turkish port of Mersin in June last year.

Six hundred shipping containers reported lost overboard after container ship sinks
Palau-registered feeder boxship is now stranded at port of Kaohsiung 07/24/23 (TradeWinds)
By Adam Corbettin London
Around 600 containers are reported lost from a feeder container ship that sank at the port of Kaohsiung in Taiwan.
As earlier reported by TradeWinds, the Palau-registered, 1,262-teu Angel (built 2003) developed a serious list thought to be caused by water ingress just outside the port.
Taiwan International Ports said that the vessel has now sunk, with local reports suggesting that around 600 containers in total have now been lost from the vessel.
The Kaohsiung City government, the Coast Guard Administration, Kaohsiung Harbor Bureau and Fisheries Agency are coordinating efforts to retrieve the containers with the use of local boats.
It is expected the operation could take several days to complete.
The boxes are reportedly causing a hazard to the local fishing industry.
There are also concerns over possible pollution.
The vessel has around 393.4 metric tonnes of low-sulphur fuel oil on board and 91 tonnes of diesel.
Salvage options are now under consideration.
As earlier reported, the Indian Register of Shipping withdrew class from the Angel in May this year. The ship is listed as high-risk under the Tokyo MOU on port state control and has not been inspected in the region since 2018.
The ship is not entered with a protection and indemnity club member under the International Group of P&I Clubs.
The incident is likely to spoil any recent improvement in the number of shipping containers lost at sea from boxships.
According to figures from the World Shipping Council, to the end of 2021 the average number of containers lost at sea each year was 1,566.
But in 2022 that figure had reduced to just 661.
More than 1,100 of containers that fell from Angel remain missing 07/26/23 (Insurance Marine News)
As of the afternoon of July 24th only 206 of the 1,349 empty containers that fell into the water when container ship Angel (IMO 9256406) sank while anchored off Kaohsiung port had been recovered (IMN, July 24th).
The port company said that it had tracked down 573 of the containers, noting that 120 had been washed ashore, while 247 have sunk. The latter figure included 87 that were found, but which sank during the recovery process. Most of the containers were located in the areas off of Linyuan District in Kaohsiung and Donggang Township in Pingtung County, southwestern Taiwan.
Multiple agencies had been enlisted to recover the containers, the port company said.
The Kaohsiung Branch of Taiwan International Ports Co. was working with Kaohsiung City government, the Coast Guard Administration, Kaohsiung Harbor Bureau and the Fisheries Agency. 17 vessels were sent to retrieve the containers, many of which have been spotted floating in the water off the city’s Linyuan District and Donggang Township.
An additional problem was the approach of Typhoon Doksuri, which added a sense of urgency to the issue (see previous story). A few oil spills were also found. The Kaohsiung Branch of Taiwan International Ports Co. has dispatched a total of 39 boats since July 20th, when the captain of the Angel issued a distress message.
A salvage team checked the ship on July 23rd, sealing vents connected to the oil tanks and pumping out the oil to avoid any leakage. The tanks reportedly contained 393.4 tonnes of low sulphur fuel, 98.1 tonnes of light diesel, and 0.348 tonnes of lubricating oil.
Details about the ship’s ownership and recent operations are unclear. The Equasis database lists as the owner Navramar Shipping, which is based in the Marshall Islands. It had acquired the ship in May 2023. The ship was registered in Palau and management is listed as being located in Azerbaijan. Equasis reports it was removed from the Indian registry and by DNV as of the beginning of June, showing the vessel’s current class status as unknown. Further, the database does not list a Port State inspection since 2018.
The ship’s owner will be required by law to submit a salvage plan to the port. Officials said they are asking the managers for a plan to remove the oil from the ship, address the containers floating in the waterways, and for the eventual refloating and removal of the hulk.
2003-built, Palau-flagged, 16,145 gt Angel is owned and managed by Navramar Shipping Inc of Majuro, Marshall Islands. ISM manager is Zulu Shipping LLC of Baku, Azerbaijan.

Palau flag container Ship ANGEL major marine occurrence initial report 07/24/23 (Taiwan Transportation Safety Board)
On July 20th, 2023 at approximately 1009 local time (UTC 0209), the Palau-flagged container ship ANGEL (IMO No. 9256406), with a gross tonnage of 16145, was located about 2.8 nautical miles (5 km) from the south breakwater of the port of Kaohsiung when it lost power for unknown reasons. The hull was listed after flooding, and the Master of ANGEL declared abandonment of the ship. All 19 crew members on board were rescued, and the vessel later sank, hundreds of cargo containers fell into the sea and drifted. The prevention and control of oil pollution in this accident is in progress.
The Taiwan Transportation Safety Board (TTSB) has identified this event as a marine casualty according to the Transportation Occurrence Investigation Act and has referenced the Casualty Investigation Code of the International Maritime Organization (IMO). An Investigator-In-Charge has been assigned, and an investigation team has been launched to conduct the investigation.
Further information on the progress of the occurrence investigation will be published on the TTSB website.

ITF names Palau Flag of Convenience registry as one of “worst flags” in Mediterranean Sea 03/21/23 (Island Times)
by Island Times
International Transport Workers’ Federation (ITF), seafarers’ unions, and port authorities named the Palau Flag of Convenience registry as one of the “worst flags” operating in the Mediterranean Sea.
According to the ITF website, up p to a thousand ships flagged to the Cook Islands, Palau, Sierra Leone, and Togo will be the subject of safety, maintenance, and seafarer welfare inspections across the Mediterranean Sea in the coming eight weeks.
These are now the worst flags operating in the Mediterranean Sea,” said Seddik Berrama, General Secretary of Algeria’s transport union FNTT and ITF Vice President for the Arab World region.
Substandard shipping in the Mediterranean Sea is driving down seafarers’ wages and conditions, it’s endangering the lives of crew and risking our environment,” said ITF Inspectorate Coordinator Steve Trowsdale.
“These flags take money from shipowners to register ships that other countries wouldn’t touch. Many are old vessels and are poorly maintained by their owners. Many of these ships are dangerous and should not be trading,” he said.
The statement further stated that in just three years, the Cook Islands, Palau, Sierra Leone, and Togo flags were responsible for 33 cases of crew abandonment, affecting more than a hundred seafarers, leaving many without pay, food, water, or a way to get home.
The report said the four flags of convenience are also responsible for over $5,500,000 USD in unpaid wages cheated from the crew, which the ITF then had to recover from the flags’ shipowners on the seafarers’ behalf.
It added that there were also 5,203 deficiencies or detentions issued by European Port State Control enforcement agencies to these fur registries.
Palau is on the “Grey List” of the Paris MOU on Port State Control which is the official agreement between the 27 participating Maritime Authorities implementing a harmonized system of Port State Control.
Ukraine-bound freighter disabled in Bosphorus 09/03/22 (FleetMon)
General cargo ship BRIZA suffered mechanical failure while transiting Bosphorus in northern direction and had to anchor in emergency at around 0230 LT (UTC +8) Sep 3, in Kandilli area. Istanbul Ship Traffic Control tugs responded, the ship started moving at around 0400 LT, understood attempting to complete transit, but at 0440 LT she turned back, and was taken (towed?) back to Marmara sea, anchored at Ahirkapi Anchorage at around 0620 LT Sep 3. The ship is ballasting to Chornomorsk, Ukraine.
Turkey's Bosphorus reopens to traffic after Ukraine cargo ship refloated

By MEE staff
Maritime traffic at Istanbul's Bosphorus waterway is once again moving after being suspended earlier on Monday following a cargo ship being stranded.
The incident with the Palau-flagged vessel called the MKK1, travelling from Turkey to Ukraine, has not resulted in damage, according to Turkish authorities. However, it had briefly blocked all traffic in the highly important waterway.
According to maritime vessel traffic websites, the 142-metre vessel is now moving across the straits towards the Sea of Marmara.
The freighter experienced a rudder failure at around 7.30am local time.
In a tweet, the Turkish coastguard authority said that it had promptly dispatched five tugboats to the scene.
The Bosphorus Strait connects the Black Sea to the Sea of Marmara and is one of the world's busiest maritime passages.
By some estimates, around 48,000 ships pass through the strait each year, which can be challenging to navigate partly due to the narrow width of some parts of the waterway.
A similar incident involving a Ukrainian ship occurred in September last year after it collided with another vessel and briefly ran aground.
Speaking to Middle East Eye at the time, Yoruk Isik, a long-time naval Bosphorus observer said: "The Bosphorus is one of the most professionally managed in all steps, including pre-planning and foreseeing what can happen - it is extremely well managed."
Rare incidents
The last major accident on the Bosphorus was in 2019 when a Liberian-flagged cargo ship ran off course and collided with Istanbul's coast, forcing Turkish authorities to close the waterway.
The Bosphorus is one of the world's most important choke points for maritime oil transports, with more than three percent of global supply - mainly from Russia and the Caspian Sea - passing through the 27km waterway.
In the past Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has called for a new canal to be built that would ease traffic on the Bosphorus shipping route.
He first mentioned the idea in 2011, dubbing it his "crazy project". But a currency crisis in 2018 prompted Turkey to freeze investments in large projects.
Kanal Istanbul has returned to the president's agenda periodically. Yet, ground has yet to be broken on the idea.
The 400-metre-wide canal planned to the west of Istanbul would connect the Black Sea in the north to the Sea of Marmara, which eventually runs into the Mediterranean.
Jordan Detains Egyptian Cargo Ship Accusing it of Damaging Coral Reef 09/14/22（THE MARITIME EXECUTIVE）

Jordanian officials have ordered an Egyptian-owned cargo ship to be detained at the port of Aqaba after the vessel grounded in the country’s marine reserve park. It is the second vessel in two months to cause damage to the reserve area with the Jordanian Maritime Authority reporting it is investigating the repeat occurrence of a vessel traveling outside the channel.
The Lotus, an 8,500 dwt general cargo ship was entering the port at 6:50 a.m. local time on Tuesday, September 13 when it grounded in the marine reserve. The preservation area, a prime location for tourists and divers, makes up about half the 16-mile coastline and lies near the entrance to Jordan’s only seaport.
The Jordanian Royal Navy assisted in removing the 356-foot vessel which is registered in Palau from the reef and escorted the ship to the dock in Aqaba for an inspection. The staff of the Jordanian Maritime Authority boarded the vessel to assess the situation. The head of the port authority told local media that they were “taking a measure to prevent the ship from traveling until the investigation is completed.”
The vessel was reported to be arriving empty with its AIS signal showing it was coming from Somalia. It was expected to load a cargo of potash at the fertilizer pier.
Noaman Al-Saifi, head of the Maritime Authority made an official statement reporting that they were sending divers to inspect the coral reef. “It's too early to talk about damages, if there are damages,” he was quoted as saying by state media. Later in the day, however, the state-owned Al-Mamlaka TV was reporting that there is substantial damage to the reef.
In August, Jordanian authorities detained another Egyptian-run vessel, the Flower of the Sea, accusing the cargo ship of having spilled 11 tons of fuel oil in the same area. Jordanian media reports that both vessels are operated by Sea Gate Management with the Flower of the Sea having a history of detentions and deficiencies in prior port state inspections.
The 10,500 dwt vessel, also registered in Palau, was reported to have contaminated a section of the marine reserve on August 14 with the spill later washing up on Jordanian beaches and spreading to the Egyptian side of the Gulf of Aqaba. The case was referred to Jordanian prosecutors later in August.

This is the M/V Arvin, a Russian-built ship sailing under a Palau flag registered under "Arvin Sg Ltd". She was anchored at the Black Sea port of Bartin (Turkey) and broke in half while anchored and sank Jan 17, 2021 during rough sea currents. Out of the 13 people on board; 6 were rescued, 4 were killed, 3 remained missing as of the time of the search operation. 11 of the souls on board were Ukrainian, and 2 were Russian.
The ship was built in 1975 in Czechoslovakia for the USSR as a dry goods transporter. The ship was designed for mainly for river and lake operations as a barge freighter. She was never designed for rough weather of any sort or the open ocean at all. Despite that fact, she continued to operate in the Black Sea, a region noted for its adverse weather and rough high currents after suffering from over 30 years of poor maintenance and neglect since being sold in 1992 from Russian ownership. These ships are essentially open topped bathtubs with no rigidity, and you can watch them twist and bend just from passing a ship’s wake if they’re unladen. It is not uncommon to see older ones at the end of their service life have several cracks at the deck edge, which will quickly propagate down the hullside if the ship is kept in service. A port state control inspection in Georgia in 2020 found extensive deficiencies on board the Arvin, including severe deck corrosion (softness) and ill-maintained (not functional) weathertight hatches. The Volgo-Balt series of ships were given a restriction on class and were not permitted to sail more than 100 miles from safe haven.
The entire merchant marine fleet in the Black Sea is known for the very poor condition of its ships and the inhumanely poor conditions for the sailors. Olga Ananina, the ITF inspector in Novorossiysk, remarked. “Today the bulkers operate under flag of Panama and under control of Orbital Ship Management. All ships are old and problematic. The wage debts, low wage levels not exceeding the ILO rates, lack of provisions, drinking water, working wear, or cleaning materials – all of these are normal for the rust buckets which sink every year claiming seafarers’ lives." The Seafarers’ Union of Russia strongly recommends to shy away from hiring on these ships as they pose a danger to navigational safety and seafarers lives.
From 1975-1992 before the ship was renamed to the M/V "Arvin", she was known as the VOLGO-BALT 189. The ship worked for the USSR and then White Sea & Onega. After the USSR decommissioned it, it was sold off and eventually became property of Palau as its final owner after being registered in Malta, Iran, and Cambodia over the next 30 years. Sister ships Volgo Balt 179 (built 1973) and Volgo Balt 214 (built 1978) also broke apart and sank in the years prior to the Arvin (Volgo Balt 189). There are many of these Volgo-Balt vessels, built during Soviet times, that is still in operation under different flags and in different trades across the world.
Terrifying Video Shows Cargo Ship Break in Half Off Turkey January 31, 2021 (gCaptain)

Turkish maritime authorities have published some terrifying video showing a cargo ship breaking in half in a matter of minutes.
The incident took place January 17 when the Palau-flagged Arvin broke in half and sunk at a Black Sea anchorage off the Port of Bartin. The 1975-built ship was reported to be carrying 2,902 tons of urea.
Sadly, this incident did not end well. A day after the ship broke, six of the ship’s 12 crew members were still reported missing.

The bodies of three sailors from the Arvin bulk carrier, which sank off the coast of Turkey on Sunday, have been discovered as of Jan. 18 morning, the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry said citing information provided by Turkey.
“According to Turkish authorities, as of 10:00 on January 18, six crewmembers have been rescued (five citizens of Ukraine and one citizen of Russia), and the bodies of three deceased sailors were found (their identification is ongoing),” the ministry said in a statement published on its website on Monday.
The rescued crewmembers have been hospitalized in the city of Bartin, and the search and rescue operation is continuing.
The Ukrainian ambassador to Turkey and several consular workers have arrived in Bartin to provide the Ukrainians with consular assistance and coordinate collaboration with the relevant Turkish agencies. The Ukrainian Foreign Ministry and embassy to Turkey have taken the incident under special control.
The Ukrainian embassy to Turkey said later the Ukrainians rescued from the sunken vessel had been discharged from the hospital.
The Ukrainian Foreign Ministry reported earlier that the Arvin (IMO 8874316, sailing under the flag of Palau) sank near the coast of Turkey’s Bartin province on January 17. Tentative findings indicate that the wreck might have been caused by a heavy storm. The vessel had 12 crewmembers on board, among them ten Ukrainian citizens, it said. The Ukrainian company Arvin Shipping LTD has been named as the vessel’s owner.
The Russian Federal Agency for Maritime and River Transport (Rosmorrechflot) has said there were two Russian citizens onboard the bulker.

制裁下の北朝鮮、ロシア経由で日韓に石炭輸出＝欧州情報筋 01/26/18（ロイター）
By Reuters Staff, ロイター
［パリ／ロンドン／モスクワ ２５日 ロイター］ - 欧州情報機関の複数の関係筋によると、北朝鮮は昨年８月の国連安全保障理事会の制裁決議で石炭輸出が禁止された後に、ロシアを経由して日本と韓国に石炭を輸出していた。専門家はこの取引が国連の制裁決議に違反している可能性が高いとみている。
国連安保理は昨年８月５日に採択した制裁決議で、北朝鮮からの石炭輸出を禁止した。同国が核・ミサイル開発に必要とする外貨の獲得手段を断つのが狙いだった。
しかし、関係筋によると、北朝鮮は制裁が決まった後に少なくとも３回にわたり、ロシア東部のナホトカ港やホルムスク港に石炭を輸送。港でいったん荷下ろしした後、別の船に積み替えて韓国や日本に運んだという。
ナホトカ港の管理記録によると、北朝鮮の南浦港から来たパラオ船籍の船舶が昨年８月３日に到着し、石炭１万７４１５トンが陸揚げされた。この船は同月１８日に出港した。
８月１６日には同じ停泊場所に別の船が到着し、石炭２万０５００トンを積み込んだ後、２４日に韓国のウルサン港に向かったと記録されている。
サハリン州のホルムスク港の管理記録によると、この港では昨年８月と９月に少なくとも北朝鮮船籍の船舶２隻が同国から到着し、石炭を荷下ろしした。このうち１隻は８月１日─９月１２日の間に３回ホルムスク港に寄り、合計１万５５４２トンの石炭を運んだ。もう１隻は８月３日と９月上旬に２度寄港し、合計１万００６８トンの石炭を運んだ。
国連の制裁決議後だったため、これらの石炭はロシアの税関を通過しなかったが、その後に中国系の船舶に積み込まれた。ロイターが入手した港湾管理記録には、これらの船の行き先は北朝鮮と記されていた。しかし、船舶追跡情報を見ると、実際には韓国の浦項港と仁川港に向かっていた。
欧州の関係筋は、中国が北朝鮮からの石炭輸出の取り締まりを強化したため、ロシア経由の密輸ルートが生まれたと指摘する。
これとは別に、ある海運関係者は、北朝鮮から輸出された石炭の一部が昨年１０月に日本と韓国に到着したと語った。
米国の安全保障当局筋は、ロシアを介した北朝鮮からの石炭輸出を確認した上で、今も継続中だと明らかにした。
ロシア外務省は、ロイターが今月１８日に送ったコメント要請に回答していない。
ロシアの国連代表部は昨年１１月、国連安保理の制裁委員会に対し、ロシア政府が国連決議に基づく制裁措置を履行していると報告している。
ロイターは、ロシアの港で荷下ろしされた北朝鮮の石炭が日本と韓国に運ばれたものと同じかどうかを独自に確認できていない。また、ロシアから北朝鮮の石炭を日本と韓国に運んだ船の持ち主が積み荷がどこから来たかを知っていたかどうかも確認できていない。
米財務省は２４日、北朝鮮の核・ミサイル開発を支援しているとして、北朝鮮の９団体と北朝鮮籍の船舶６隻、１６個人を米独自の制裁対象とすると発表。昨年９月に北朝鮮の石炭をホルムスク港に運んだ船の持ち主も対象に含まれた。
北朝鮮からの石炭輸出でどの企業が利益を得ているかは不明。
米国務省の報道官は北朝鮮からの石炭輸出について問われると、「ロシアがさらなる対策を講じなければならないことは明らかだ」と述べた。
ホワイトハウスはコメントの求めに応じていない。
韓国外務省当局者は、北朝鮮からの石炭輸出について「韓国政府は北朝鮮による制裁逃れを監視している」と述べ、ロイターが報道した石炭輸出を外務省が認識しているかどうかは明言しなかった。
日本の外務省はコメントの求めに応じていない。
Madras HC orders arrest of Palau-flagged ship 01/16/23 (THE TIMES OF INDIA）
A Subramani / TNN
(TIMES OF INDIA) - CHENNAI: The Madras high court has ordered the arrest of a Palau-flagged ship, anchored at V O Chidambaranar Port at Turicorin, for non-payment of dues running to more than Rs 78 lakh.
Palau is an archipelago of over 500 islands, part of the Micronesia region in the western Pacific Ocean.
The ship - TB Parasea One - was carrying construction materials from Singapore to Male, and the vessel had serious mechanical troubles including water seepage through a hole in the ballast. It had to be sent for repairs by Mangalore-based Roy Lexim which had chartered the vessel for the trip.
Owing to repair works and the inability of the vessel to carry the originally contracted quantity of 5,000 tons of materials, the company through S Senthil of Vadapalani in Chennai had moved the court for recovery of more than Rs 78 lakh. The money was to have been paid by the Dubai-based Paradigm Seastar Ltd, he said.
On Monday, Justice P Velmurugan, passing orders on a civil suit filed by Roy Lexim, said the ship shall be arrested in the territorial waters of India at VOC Port in Tuticorin.
The vessel shall be arrested with her hull, tackle, engines, bunker, machinery, paraphernalia and all her appurtenant in as is whe

検査会社の人間や検査官ではないのだろう。もしそうだとしたら責任を問われる証拠として使われてしまう。しかしNo.1バラストタンクの状態はかなりひどいと思う。ほとんどが錆びて、塗装が残っている部分がない。このような状態よりも遥かにましなバラストタンクでも垂直梯子が腐食していたり、いろいろな箇所が腐食して大丈夫なのかと心配になる事がある。バラストタンクで怪我をすると運ぶのだって大変だし、マンホールを抜けるのはかなり難しい。よくこんな船のパラストタンクに入ったなと思う。
個人的な経験から言えば、
ＰＳＣ(外国船舶監督官)がバラストタンクを検査する事はない。もっと簡単に検査できる場所でも検査しないぐらいだから危険なエリアを検査するはずがない。まあ、このような動画が存在しても、M/V Arvinを検査した
検査会社が処分された記事を見たことないので、無茶苦茶な検査をしても
検査会社が処分される事はないのだろう。
Yes it looks real scabby. But how much thinning was there? Shit vid to determine how much actual corrosion damage there was. Since that’s a ‘wet’ hold and sea water is used for ballast you would expect lots of corrosion. I would think when this ship was built the thickness of the material is chosen for strength with a margin to cover the eventual loss of material due to corrosion, but maybe post war it was just about getting the ship on the water. Maybe those tanks are coated in newer ships to inhibit that corrosion but this ship was nearly 50yo. I’ve seen newer equipment where the ladders were rusted nearly away and maybe 20 years old.
While I am sure this wasn’t helping, I don’t know that it’s the ‘one’ cause leading to the sinking.
- Ship was at anchor causing extra stress on the bow, it’s age giving fatigue to the structure and materials. It looked like the first major give happened with the bow nosing down, possibly from the ‘pulling’ action of the anchor
-from what I read it may have been shipping in water due to faulty hatches and or seals leading to extra weight.
- also may have been overloaded beyond design specs. Old ship in a new world and trying to maximize its profitability. Ship didn’t capsize or nose down, it was physically sundered.
- lack of proper maintenance and repair weakening the structure.
- also from what is being commented the ship was not a ocean going vessel by design. Perhaps when new it was not an issue ( loaded less and 50 years of shipping fatigue in the distant future).
Damn shame those sailor lost their lives. But this won’t stop happening until the people at the top get held to account. Not fines but actual prison time. Because if they just get to pay money after people die due to their companies negligence it just hits the ‘profit margin’, doesn’t hit home.
I am all about capitalism. But lack of accountability from the top down is a cancer of any system. The owner of ships like these need to be held accountable. Captain...up to a point, soon as the saw the bow ‘left’ the ship an abandon order should have been given. But 7 minutes (reportedly) isn’t a lot of time. The proximity to a rough shore in rough weather would make rescue extremely dangerous.
２０１５年８月、客船「LEISURE WORLD (IMO 6921828O)」がoverloading(過積載)で出港停止命令をシンガポールで受けた。検査会社は「International Register of Shipping」。
１９６９年に建造されているから船齢は約４５年。第二の韓国客船 Sewolになったとしてもおかしくない。
この客船も写真から判断して改造されていると思う。韓国客船 Sewolとの違いは、この客船
ＲＯ－ＲＯフェリーではないので、貨物の荷崩れによる転覆の可能性は低そう。ただ、乗客を乗せているだけで「overloading(過積載)」を指摘される事実は
危険を感じさせる。もし、定員オーバーであれば、救命装備は人数分ない可能性がある。「overloading(過積載)」又は定員オーバーを管理会社又は
船員が知っているとすれば、その他にも問題や不備がある可能性が非常に高い。救命や消防装置がまともに動かない可能性も高い。
検査会社が「International Register of Shipping」である事実が安全でないと個人的に判断します。
運よくこのサイトを見られた人は、安い旅行には気をつけたほうが良いですよ。動く棺おけとは知らず乗ってしまっては後悔しますよ！
スリルを体験したい人は運が良ければ、映画のような体験が出来るかもしれません。まあ、座礁、衝突又は鉄の腐食により客船の船底や側面に穴が空く、又は転覆しない限り
簡単に沈没しないとは思うけど、コメントに対する責任は一切負いませんので、自己責任で判断してください。
