11月27日，悬挂英国国旗的散货船“Anglo Marie Louise”号在距离北卡罗来纳州海岸约150海里处发生爆炸。
爆炸发生在该船的货舱内，导致1号和2号货舱受损。
幸运的是，没有船员受伤的报告，尽管受损，船只仍然适航。爆炸发生后，“Anglo Marie Louise”号继续航行，在切萨皮克湾入口附近的弗吉尼亚海滩抛锚。
这艘船于11月23日离开马里兰州的巴尔的摩，在前往下一个港口的途中发生了爆炸。尽管发生了这一事件，但该船仍能依靠自己的动力返回港口。
这不是“Anglo Marie Louise”号第一次遇到麻烦了。早在2024年3月，这艘船在新奥尔良附近的密西西比河航行时就发生了电力故障。
这导致该船失控，但两艘拖船设法将其驶离，避免与停靠船只的潜在碰撞。
美国海岸警卫队正在调查这一事件，此前一天还发生了一起险些相撞的事故。
“Anglo Marie Louise”号建造于2011年，由英国的Anglo International Shipping所有，由德国的Anglo Eastern管理。它是通过NorthStandard保赔俱乐部投保的。
自2020年以来，该船在检查中没有出现任何问题，最近的检查也没有发现任何问题。
虽然爆炸造成了一些破坏，但目前还不担心该船的运行能力。然而，可能会出现一些恢复问题，目前情况仍在评估中。
“Anglo Marie Louise”号仍停泊在弗吉尼亚州，船员安全，船只能够继续航行。

英文原文
An explosion occurred aboard the UK-flagged bulk carrier Anglo Marie Louise on November 27 while it was about 150 nautical miles off the coast of North Carolina.
The explosion happened in the ship’s cargo holds, causing damage to the No.1 and No. 2 cargo hatches.
Fortunately, no injuries were reported to the crew, and the vessel remained seaworthy despite the damage. After the blast, the Anglo Marie Louise continued on its course and anchored off Virginia Beach, near the entrance to Chesapeake Bay.
The ship had departed Baltimore, Maryland, on November 23 and was on its way to its next port when the explosion took place. Despite the incident, the vessel was able to return to port under its own power.
This wasn’t the first time the Anglo Marie Louise had faced trouble. Back in March 2024, the ship experienced a power failure while navigating the Mississippi River near New Orleans.
This caused the vessel to veer out of control, but two tugboats managed to steer it away from a potential collision with a docked vessel.
The U.S. Coast Guard is investigating that incident, which also involved a near-miss the day before.
The Anglo Marie Louise, built in 2011, is owned by Anglo International Shipping in the UK and managed by Anglo-Eastern in Germany. It is insured through the NorthStandard Protection and Indemnity Club.
The vessel has had no issues during inspections since 2020, and the most recent inspection found no problems.
While the explosion caused some damage, there are no immediate concerns about the ship’s ability to operate. However, there could be some recovery issues, and the situation is still being assessed.
The Anglo Marie Louise remains anchored in Virginia, with its crew safe and the ship able to continue its journey.
