KiwiRailがクック海峡でフェリーの停電を宣告された

Share:

KiwiRailは、2023年1月に880人以上が乗船していたカイタキ・インターアイランダー・フェリーが停電したため、432,500ドルを支払わなければなりません。この事故は、1月28日にフェリーがウェリントン港に入ろうとして推進力を失い、メイデイコールになったときに起こりました。乗組員はアンカーを落として救命胴衣を配ったが、その後、タグボートの助けを借りて船を安全に港に運ぶためにいくらかの動力を回復した。

ニュージーランド海事局は、この事故を調査した結果、労働安全衛生法に基づいてKiwiRailに料金を請求しました。被害者への影響に関する声明によると、多くの乗客がこの体験を非常に怖いと感じており、ワヒネ号災害と比較する乗客もいました。ある乗客は、特に最近6月21日にフェリーが停泊したことで、この事件は長期的に影響を受けたと述べています。

ある元警察官が、法廷での声明の中で、乗組員がこの状況に対処したことを称賛しました。最高罰金は150万ドルにもなる可能性もあるが、裁判所はKiwiRailに対し、訴訟費用を含めて432,500ドルの支払いを命じた。

判決後、KiwiRailは事件の原因となった問題を解決したことを国民に保証しました。インターアイランダーのゼネラルマネージャーであるダンカン・ロイは、乗客が感じた苦痛に遺憾の意を表し、裁判所に感謝の意を表した。彼は信頼を得ることは難しいと認め、信頼を失ったお客様には、そのサービスを再び利用することを検討するよう求めました。

中間報告によると、フェリーのエンジン故障はゴム製伸縮継手の故障が原因でした。この部品は古く、推奨どおりに交換されていませんでした。ピーター・ホッブズ判事は、KiwiRailは過去のフェリーサービスでは危険性を認識していたはずであり、安全記録も乏しかったと指摘しました。

ホッブズ氏はまた、KiwiRailが早期に有罪を認めたことと、安全性を向上させるために取った措置が罰金の減額につながったことにも言及しました。最近、同じフェリーの乗客が、そのサービスが「目的に合わない」という補償を受けました。
