키위레일, 표류 페리에 43만 달러 벌금 부과

Share:

뉴질랜드 최대 운송업체인 키위레일이 페리인 카이타키호를 제대로 관리하지 않아 43만2500달러의 벌금을 부과받았다.이 고장으로 인해 864명의 승객과 승무원을 태운 페리는 동력을 잃고 위험한 바위 쪽으로 표류했습니다.많은 승객들은 어둠 속에서 배가 바위를 향해 가고 있다는 것을 깨닫고 겁을 먹었다고 보고했습니다.한 승객은 상황이 끔찍하다고 말했습니다. 특히 어린 아기와 노인들이 탑승한 경우 더욱 그렇습니다.

뉴질랜드 해양청은 페리의 정전 당시 승객과 승무원을 안전하게 보호하지 못했다는 이유로 KiwiRail을 기소했습니다.국영 기업인 KiwiRail은 이 혐의에 대해 유죄임을 인정하며, 이로 인해 최대 150만 달러의 벌금이 부과될 수 있었습니다.이 사건은 2023년 1월 28일 페리가 픽턴에서 웰링턴으로 향하던 중 발생했습니다.엔진이 고장나서 배는 해안 근처에서 표류하고 있었습니다.

메이데이 콜이 왔고 모두가 대피를 준비했습니다.다행히 승무원들은 상황이 악화되기 전에 가까스로 닻을 내리고 엔진 2대와 추진기 2대를 재시동할 수 있었습니다.뉴질랜드 해양 (Maritime New Zealand) 에서 실시한 조사에 따르면 KiwiRail은 유지 보수가 필요하다는 사전 경고에도 불구하고 페리 냉각 시스템의 필수 부품을 교체하지 못한 것으로 나타났습니다.

Maritime NZ는 마모된 보정기와 같은 중요한 부품의 부적절한 검사 및 교체가 문제라고 강조했습니다.키위레일의 던컨 로이 (Duncan Roy) 총괄 매니저는 법정에서 사과하면서 이번 사고로부터 교훈을 얻었으며 안전 개선에 집중하고 있다고 말했습니다.

Maritime NZ의 변호인인 벤 핀 (Ben Finn) 은 아무도 부상을 입지 않은 것이 운이 좋았다고 말했습니다.그는 비극적인 와힌 페리 참사를 떠올리며, 페리가 무서워서 페리 이용을 중단한 승객들도 있다고 언급했습니다.KiwiRail의 변호사인 Mark Campbell은 심각한 위험을 인정하면서도 긴급 대응이 더 나쁜 결과를 방지하는 데 도움이 된다고 강조했습니다.
