マーキュリー・ベイの船が沈没事故で解体

Share:

ワイカト地域評議会は、先週、モトゥコルレ島(センター島とも呼ばれる)の近くで岩石に衝突してマーキュリー湾に沈んだ50フィートの船の回収が成功したと発表しました。ありがたいことに、船長も乗客も無傷で事故から脱出した。しかし、1300リットルのディーゼルを積んだ船は、水深20メートルのサンゴ礁に沈んでいた。

サルベージ作業は3日間にわたり、水曜日には検査のため船を引き上げられました。地域現場司令官クリフ・ギブソンによると、船体は重大な損傷を受け、復旧が遅れたとのことです。損傷があったため、救助隊が再編成して修正された復旧計画を策定するにあたり、船は一時的に海底に送り返されました。

チームは昨日操業を再開する態勢を整えていましたが、強風のため延期せざるを得ませんでした。彼らは今朝の穏やかな状況を利用して、船をクックスビーチまでけん引しました。船をマリーナまでけん引すると水路内で崩壊する可能性があるため、計画的な解体にはクックスビーチがより安全な代替手段であると判断されました。

クリフ・ギブソン氏は、この船がクックス・ビーチに現れたことに関する地域社会の懸念を語りました。彼は、環境災害は細心の注意を払って管理されていることを住民に保証し、救助隊がすべての残骸を確実に片付けることを約束しました。

当初は空だと思われていたが、船のタンクにはまだディーゼルが入っていて、今日ポンプで汲み上げられた。このプロセスでは、エンジンオイルと作動油が混ざっていると思われる炭化水素の光沢が最小限に抑えられていることが確認されました。ギブソン氏は、これが環境に大きな影響を及ぼすことなく、速やかに消失すると確信しています。

沈没した船の大部分は片付けられ、ビーチでの清掃活動も間もなく開始される予定です。このプロセスの間、ワイカト地域評議会は救助隊と継続的に連絡を取り合っていました。本日、フィティアンガに拠点を置く市議会の職員が現場に立ち会いました。一方、マリタイム・ニュージーランドは、同船が沈没するに至った経緯を調査している
