直布罗陀政府和港务局报告称，一艘散货船在夜间离开该港口后，撞上了一艘停泊的液化天然气船，船舶进水后，暂时情况保持稳定。

该船搁浅在香港东部，同时调查和预防漏油的措施正在进行中。

“OS 35”是一艘在图瓦卢注册的 35,000 载重吨散货船，于8月29日抵达阿曼后，装载了一批钢材驶往荷兰。

Adam LNG是一艘90,986载重吨的天然气运输船，散货船撞上该船时，当时一名直布罗陀引航员正在船上，该船也在马耳他卸货后于8月29日抵达。

液化天然气运输船在港口外的锚地。

“OS 35”散货船开始进水，并被引导到距加泰罗尼亚湾不到1000英尺的位置，在那里它的船头停在了海床上。

今天早上，一支潜水队被派下来检查船体，报告说这艘584英尺长的船的右舷有严重损坏。

据估计，船中部的一条裂缝长约33英尺，高约13英尺。

潜水员证实，该船的前部沉入沙质海床近四英尺。

Salvamento Maritimo 直升机也对两艘船进行了空中勘测。

直布罗陀港务局目前部署了两艘拖船和三艘服务船，Salvmento Maritimo 也提供了协助。

官员们报告说，该船停泊在深度约为 56 英尺的海床上。

她目前仅向右舷倾斜三度，情况被认为是稳定的。 

24 名船员仍在船上，据报道他们没有直接的危险，但港务局准备在情况发生变化时撤离他们。

他们报告说，到目前为止，油轮还没有漏油，但他们准备了1300多英尺的拦油栅。

据悉，该船装载了183吨重燃料油、250吨柴油和27吨润滑油。

然而，到了下午，该船的前吊出现了液压油泄漏。

直布罗陀港务局回应称，目前已在该船周围部署了防浪罩，以遏制任何污染。

他们还报告说，在起重机结构周围部署了一个额外的吸收臂，以最大限度地减少源头的渗漏，并容纳和收集流体，以防止进一步泄漏到海里。

船尾部分和甲板的一部分仍然露出水面，当局报告说，到目前为止，四个起重机中只有前面的一个受到进水的影响。

调查小组还检查了 948 英尺长的液化天然气运输船 Adam LNG，该船仍在锚泊中。

这艘在马绍尔群岛注册的船只似乎没有因撞击而遭受重大损失。

潜水员报告说，它的球鼻艏有一个表面凹痕。

撞船事故发生后，直布罗陀港口的运营暂停了4个小时，但港务局报告说，除了散货船周围的禁区外，该港口已重新开放。

一支专业的海上救援队伍正在前往直布罗陀，预计今天下午抵达。

“OS 35”轮此前曾因遭海盗劫持、被中国海军解救登上新闻头条。

2017年4月8日17时许，正在亚丁湾、索马里海域执行护航任务的第25批护航编队接到英国海上贸易组织通报：图瓦卢籍OS35号货船于亚丁湾索科特拉岛西北海域遭海盗劫持，海盗数量不明，1艘海盗小艇靠泊货船。

中国海军护航编队玉林舰立即向其高速机动。

8日午夜时分，玉林舰抵达被劫货船附近海域，立即采取舰艇绕行、舰载直升机绕飞等方式，使用高倍望远镜、红外设备等观察手段查明情况，并与船员取得联系，确认所有船员均在安全舱躲避，但船上海盗活动情况不明。

9日凌晨，玉林舰发起营救行动，16名特战队员在海军舰载机空中掩护下乘小艇陆续登上“OS 35”轮，成功将19名船员救出。

英文原文

The Gibraltar government and the port authority are reporting that the situation remains stable after a bulker departing the port overnight clipped an anchored LNG carrier and began taking on water. The vessel was beached on the eastern side of the territory while surveys and precautions for an oil spill are underway.

The OS 35, a 35,000 dwt bulker registered in Tuvalu was outbound for the Netherlands with a cargo of steel rebar after having arrived on August 29 from Oman. A Gibraltar pilot was aboard the vessel when it hit the Adam LNG, a 90,986 dwt gas carrier that had also arrived on August 29 after unloading its cargo in Malta. The LNG carrier was in the anchorage outside the port.

The bulker began taking on water and was directed to a position less than 1,000 feet off Catalan Bay where it settled at the bow to the bottom. This morning a dive team sent down to inspect the hull reports there is significant damage to the 584-foot long vessel’s starboard side. A gash amidships is estimated at nearly 33 feet in length and 13 feet in height. The divers confirmed that the vessel’s forward section was settled nearly four feet into the sandy seabed. A Salvamento Maritimo helicopter also undertook an aerial survey of both vessels.

The Gibraltar Port Authority currently has two tugs and three service craft deployed with assistance also being offered from Salvamento Maritimo. The officials reported that the vessel is resting on the seabed with a depth of approximately 56 feet. She is currently only listing three degrees to starboard with the situation deemed to be stable. The crew of 24 remains aboard the vessel and they are reported to be in no immediate danger, although the Port Authority is prepared to evacuate them if the situation changes.

So far, they report there has been no oil spill from the vessel but they prepared more than 1,300 feet of boom. The bulker is reportedly loaded with 183 tons of heavy fuel oil, 250 tons of diesel, and 27 tons of lube oil. However, by the afternoon, a leak of hydraulic fluid from the vessel’s forward crane developed. The Gibraltar Port Authority responded announcing that a sea boom has now been deployed around the vessel to contain any pollution. They also reported that an additional absorbent boom was deployed to surround the crane structure, in order to minimise seepage at the source and to contain and collect the fluid to prevent further leeching to sea. The stern section and a portion of the deck remains above the su***ce, and the authorities reported that only the forward one of the four cranes has so far been affected by water ingress. 

The survey team also inspected the 948-foot long LNG carrier Adam LNG, which remains at anchor. The vessel, which is registered in the Marshall Islands, appears to have suffered no significant damage from the impact. Divers reported a superficial dent to its bulbous bow.

Port operations in Gibraltar were suspended for four hours after the collision, but the port authority reports the port has reopened except for an exclusion zone around the bulker. A specialized team of marine salvers is traveling to Gibraltar due to arrive this afternoon.
