一艘名为Shagor Nandini-2的孟加拉国成品油油轮在Jhalakashi镇的Padma油库卸货时发生爆炸，当时该油轮载有大约110万升汽油和柴油。

Shagor Nandini-2从查特格姆为Padma石油公司装载燃料，停泊在贾哈拉卡蒂的Sugandha Nadi油库附近。该船本应在周六下午卸货，但由于开斋节假期，油库关闭了。

根据消防官员和目击者的陈述，第一次爆炸发生在周六下午2点10分，靠近Sugandha河南岸的Rajapur村，靠近该地区城镇。

目击者的报告显示，爆炸发生在油轮的引擎室，导致大火从四面八方包围了油轮。

消防队员迅速赶到现场并控制了火势，但火灾的确切原因尚不清楚。

幸运的是，船上的油没有着火，因为大火在进一步蔓延之前得到了控制。

根据警方的报告和当地媒体在周六晚上8点的声明，油轮上的油被转移到其他船只上。

另一名警察总监Mofidul表示，船上有9名船员，其中5人因烧伤获救，另有4人失踪。

获救者被确认为Shakil（35岁）、Faridul Alam（53岁）、Iqbal Hone（27岁）、Mainul Islam Hridoy（29岁）和一名厨师。

他们被送往Barishal的Sher-e-Bangla医学院医院和Jhalakashi Sadar医院接受紧急治疗。

随后，四名失踪船员的尸体被找到。

孟加拉国海岸警卫队和孟加拉国内陆水运管理局的两艘船只被部署来清除油轮上的石油。

据报道，截至周日上午，约有6-7 lakh litres石油被转移到另一艘船OT Mridula上，帮助这艘沉没的油轮稍微向上漂浮。

另一方面，周一晚上，油轮发生第二次爆炸后，引发大火，造成11人受伤，其中包括9名警察。这发生在Shagor Nandini-2油轮上的除油过程中。

居住在苏甘达河沿岸的人们在听到爆炸声后惊慌失措，纷纷逃离家园。

当大火爆发并发出巨响时，油轮Shagor Nandini-2上的警察感到震惊，并跳入河中自救。

当地渔船和其他警察救了他们，并将他们送往医院。

BIWTA联合主任***·萨利姆表示，第二次爆炸发生在周一下午6点50分。

他补充说:“我当时离爆炸地点不到200码，幸运的是，我成功地逃离了爆炸的范围。”

另一艘油轮Sagor Nandini-4与Sagor South dini-2一起被运来收集石油，目前正在被转移，以免火势蔓延到该油轮。

A Bangladeshi Product Tanker named Shagor Nandini-2 was carrying approximately 11 lakh litres of petrol and diesel to offload the cargo at the Padma Oil Depot in Jhalakathi town when it suffered an explosion.

Shagor Nandini-2 loaded with fuel for Padma Oil Company from Chattogram anchored near Sugandha Nadi Oil Depot, Jhalakathi. The vessel was supposed to unload the oil on Saturday afternoon, but the depot was closed due to the Eid Holiday.

The first explosion occurred at 2:10 pm on Saturday, close to Rajapur village on the southern banks of Sugandha River, near the district town, per Fire Service officials and eyewitness statements.

Eyewitness reports suggest that the explosion occurred in the tanker’s engine room, leading to a fierce fire that surrounded the tanker from all directions.

Firefighters rushed to the scene and controlled the blaze, though its exact cause remains unknown.

Luckily the oil onboard the vessel did not catch fire, as the blaze was controlled before it spread further.

The oil from the tanker was being diverted to other ships, per police reports and statements given to local media on 8 pm, Saturday.

Additional Superintendent of Police, Mofidul, said there were nine crew members on board, and 5 of them were rescued with burn wounds, while four were missing.

Those rescued were identified as Shakil (35), Faridul Alam (53), Iqbal Hone (27), Mainul Islam Hridoy (29), and a cook.

They were admitted to Barishal’s Sher-e-Bangla Medical College Hospital and Jhalakathi Sadar Hospital for urgent medical attention.

Later the bodies of the four missing crew members were found.

Two ships of the Bangladesh Coast Guard and Bangladesh Inland Water Transport Authority were deployed to remove the oil from the tanker.

Per reports, by Sunday morning, about 6-7 lakh litres of oil was transferred to another ship OT Mridula, aiding the immersed oil tanker to float upwards slightly.

In another development, 11 people, including nine police officers, were injured in a massive fire that broke out after a second explosion on the tanker on Monday evening. This happened during the oil removal process onboard the tanker Shagor Nandini-2.

People living along the Sugandha riverbank were scared and fled their homes after they heard the explosion.

When the fire broke out with a loud noise, the police officials aboard the tanker Shagor Nandini-2 were shocked and jumped into the river to save themselves.

Local trawler drivers and other police officers saved them and sent them to the hospital.

BIWTA Joint Director Muhammad Salim said the second explosion happened at 6:50 pm on Monday.

“I was within 200 yards of the explosion and, by some miracle, managed to escape its intensity,” he added.

Another oil tanker, Sagor Nandini-4, brought alongside Sagor Nandini-2 to collect its oil, is being moved away so the fire does not spread to that tanker.
