KiwiRail 因渡轮在库克海峡断电而被判刑

Share:

2023年1月,KiwiRail的Kaitaki Interislander渡轮断电,船上有超过880人,此后,KiwiRail必须支付432,500美元。这起事件发生在1月28日,当时渡轮进入惠灵顿港并失去推进力,导致五月天来电。船员放下了锚并分发了救生衣,但后来恢复了部分电力,在拖船的帮助下将船安全送到港口。

新西兰海事局对该事件进行调查后,根据《工作场所健康与安全法》起诉了KiwiRail。受害者影响声明显示,许多乘客认为这种经历非常可怕,有人将其与瓦欣灾难进行了比较。一位乘客提到,这起事件对他们产生了长期影响,尤其是最近在6月21日渡轮停飞。

一名前警官在法庭陈述时赞扬了机组人员对局势的处理。尽管最高罚款可能为150万美元,但法院命令KiwiRail支付432,500美元,包括案件费用。

裁决后,KiwiRail向公众保证,他们已经解决了导致事件的问题。Interislander总经理邓肯·罗伊对乘客所感受到的痛苦表示遗憾,并感谢法庭。他承认获得信任很困难,并要求失去信任的客户考虑再次使用他们的服务。

一份中期报告称,渡轮的发动机故障是由于橡胶伸缩接头故障造成的。该部件已过旧,未按建议更换。彼得·霍布斯法官指出,KiwiRail本应意识到风险,并在过去的渡轮服务中保持不良的安全记录。

霍布斯还提到,KiwiRail早期的认罪和为改善安全而采取的行动有助于减少他们的罚款。最近,来自同一艘渡轮航线的一名乘客因该服务 “不适合用途” 而获得了补偿。
