西班牙当局正在调查一艘50789载重吨集装箱船船长的突然失踪事件。该船于上周晚些时候抵达阿尔赫西拉斯港。

Spanish authorities are examining the sudden disappearance of a 50,789 DWT container ship captain. The vessel reached the Port of Algeciras late last week.

Algeciras Express于6月30日从位于伊斯坦布尔南部马尔马拉海的亚洛瓦港出发。La Guardia Civil de Algeciras报告说，7月3日，也就是四天后，他们从该船的大副那里得知，他们的船长失踪了。

The Algeciras Express set sail from the port of Yalova, located on the Sea of Marmara south of Istanbul, on 30 June. La Guardia Civil de Algeciras reports that on 3 July, four days later, they were informed by the vessel’s first officer that their captain went missing.

船员们彻底搜查了这艘船，并报告说船长不知去向。

The crew members thoroughly searched the vessel and reported that the captain was nowhere to be found.

该船于7月7日抵达阿尔赫西拉斯港，但当局命令该船在海上抛锚，直到新船长上任，接管Algeciras Express的指挥权。报告显示，该港口需要一名船长在船上监督船只进入码头的操作。

The ship reached the Port of Algeciras on 7 July, but the authorities ordered the ship to anchor offshore until a new captain joined duty to take over the command of the Algeciras Express. Reports indicated that the port needed a captain to be on the ship to oversee its maneuvering into the dock.

这艘集装箱船属于Seaspan公司，在利比里亚注册，由Hapag Lloyd租船运营。报道提到，Hapag安排了一名驻乌克兰船长飞往港口，并立即上船。该船于7月10日获准驶往码头。

Owned by Seaspan and registered with Liberia, the container ship operates under charter to Hapag-Lloyd. Reports mentioned that Hapag arranged for a Ukraine-based captain to fly to the port and immediately join the vessel. The ship was permitted to proceed toward the dock on 10 July.

船靠岸后，警察即刻登船，开始审问大副和28名船员。警察搜查了这艘船，并进入失踪的船长的房间。当地媒体报道称，房间状况良好，船长还准备了7月4日的航行计划。然而，他们并没有找到船长，也找不到任何挣扎的迹象。船上似乎没有什么异常。

Once the ship was alongside, the police boarded it and began interviewing the first officer and the 28-member crew. The police searched the vessel and entered the missing captain’s cabin. Local media reports have indicated that the cabin was in good condition, and the captain had also prepared a navigation plan for 4 July. However, they could not locate any signs of struggle or the captain. Nothing seemed abnormal on the ship.

西班牙有关当局已向该船船旗国利比里亚报告了这一情况。他们正在与菲律宾联系，因为船长是菲律宾公民。西班牙有关当局已将船长列为失踪人员。

The relevant Spanish authorities have reported the same to Liberia as it is the flag state for the vessel. They are in touch with the Philippines as the captain was a Philippine citizen. Concerned Spanish authorities have listed the captain as missing.

Algeciras Express抵达时装载了几个集装箱，但周日获准在港口完成其典型的集装箱装卸。周一，它在阿尔赫西拉斯附近抛锚，但后来，它被西班牙当局释放，正驶向摩洛哥的坦格地中海。

The Algeciras Express was traveling with a few containers when it arrived but was allowed to get done with its typical container handling on Sunday at the port. On Monday, it was anchored off Algeciras, but later on, it was released by the Spanish authorities and is sailing toward Tanger-Med in Morocco.
