키위 레일, 쿡 해협에서 페리 전력 손실 혐의로 선고

Share:

키위레일은 2023년 1월 880명 이상의 승객이 탑승한 카이타키 인터아일랜더 페리가 정전된 후 432,500달러를 지불해야 합니다.이 사고는 1월 28일에 페리가 웰링턴 항구에 진입하던 중 추진력을 잃어 메이데이 콜로 이어졌을 때 발생했습니다.선원들은 닻을 떨어뜨리고 구명조끼를 나눠줬지만, 나중에는 예인선의 도움을 받아 배를 안전하게 항구로 데려올 수 있는 동력을 되찾았다.

뉴질랜드 해양 당국은 이 사건을 조사한 후 KiwiRail에 직장 보건 및 안전법을 적용해 기소했습니다.피해자 영향 진술에 따르면 많은 승객들이 이 경험을 매우 무섭게 여겼으며, 일부는 와힌 참사와 비교하기도 했습니다.한 승객은 이번 사고가 장기적으로 영향을 미쳤다고 말했습니다. 특히 최근 6월 21일에 페리가 접지한 상황에서 더욱 그렇습니다.

한 전직 경찰관은 법정에서 진술하면서 승무원들이 상황을 잘 처리한 것에 대해 칭찬을 아끼지 않았습니다.최고 벌금은 150만 달러일 수도 있었지만, 법원은 KiwiRail에 소송 비용을 포함하여 432,500달러를 지불하라고 명령했습니다.

판결 이후 KiwiRail은 사고를 일으킨 문제를 해결했다고 대중에게 안심시켰습니다.인터아일랜더 제너럴 매니저 던컨 로이 (Duncan Roy) 는 승객들이 느끼는 고통에 대해 유감을 표명하고 법원에 감사를 표했습니다.그는 신뢰를 얻는 것이 어렵다는 점을 인정하고 신뢰를 잃은 고객들에게 서비스 이용을 다시 고려해 보라고 요청했습니다.

중간 보고서에 따르면 페리의 엔진 고장은 고무 익스팬션 조인트의 결함으로 인한 것이라고 합니다.이 부품은 오래되어 권장대로 교체되지 않았습니다.피터 홉스 (Peter Hobbs) 판사는 KiwiRail이 이러한 위험을 인지하고 있었어야 하며 과거 페리 운항에 대한 안전 기록이 좋지 않았어야 한다고 지적했습니다.

홉스는 또한 KiwiRail이 조기에 유죄를 인정하고 안전을 개선하기 위해 취한 조치가 벌금을 줄이는 데 도움이 되었다고 언급했습니다.최근에 같은 페리를 타고 온 한 승객이 서비스가 “목적에 맞지 않는다”는 이유로 보상을 받았습니다.
