澳大利亚海事安全局 (AMSA) 禁止这艘悬挂巴拿马国旗的散货船 90 天，并报告说在最近的一次检查也导致滞留后，它发现了“过多的可滞留缺陷”。

根据安全组织的说法，根据 AMSA 与船舶管理公司的经验，该船被确定为“高风险船舶”。

“ Babuza Wisdom由表现不佳的运营商 Well Shipmanagment & Maritime Consultant Company 运营。近年来，该运营商与安全监管机构的冲突导致其船队的滞留率是访问澳大利亚水域的船舶平均滞留率的五倍以上，”AMSA 报道。

据中国台湾运营商 Wisdom Marine Group 称，该船是一艘 18,969 载重吨的 Small Handy，建于 2009 年。

AIS数据显示，它于5月17日从南非抵达澳大利亚吉朗，并在港口停留了8天。

目前停靠在澳大利亚纽卡斯尔。

根据 AMSA 的说法，鉴于该运营商过去表现不佳，并多次警告其船队中的其他船只近年来被扣押，Babuza Wisdom在抵达时被确定进行安全检查。

自 2022 年 9 月起，作为持续合规活动的一部分，公司的所有船舶都有资格每三个月接受一次检查。

ASMA 报告说，它将在 2023 年 9 月之后再次审查 Well Shipmangement & Marine Consultants Co. 的表现。

“我们一再警告 Well Shipmanagement & Maritime Consultant Company 以确保其船舶符合最低国际标准，但我们看到的是持续的系统性故障，将海员的安全和我们的环境置于不可接受的风险之中，”AMSA 执行董事说。迈克尔·德雷克行动。

根据 AMSA 的报告，对这艘散货船的检查显示，救助艇发动机存在缺陷，MF 和 HF 无线电系统的备用电池存在缺陷，并且船上实施的安全管理系统存在系统维护和报告故障。

当 AMSA 认为该船“对安全和环境构成重大风险”时，Babuza Wisdom号立即被扣留。

根据德雷克的说法，有缺陷的救助艇发动机严重损害了船只对紧急情况做出反应的能力，并且其本身就是滞留的原因。

使问题更加复杂的是中频和高频无线电系统的问题，他说这意味着如果这艘船失去主发动机动力，就没有无线电备份，他说“考虑到它的维护和报告故障，这是一个可行的方案”。

该船曾于 2021 年 11 月在检查员发现 19 处缺陷后在加拿大被扣留五天。

他们报告说，其中 9 个问题是被拘留的理由，包括充气救生筏损坏、应急消防泵压力不足以及防火门和应急照明出现问题。该船的操舵装置也存在问题。

Babuza Wisdom是今年 AMSA 发布禁令的第三艘船。

MSC Shipmanagement、马士基（Safmarine）、Hoegh Autoliners、COSCO Wallem Ship Management 和 V Ships Shanghai 等共有 18 家航运公司也受到 AMSA 的警告警告。

大约有 30 艘船在十年前的“拒绝进入”名单上。

Panama-flagged bulk carrier Babuza Wisdom has been banned from Australian waters for a period of 90 days by the Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA) due to numerous detainable deficiencies, including a faulty rescue boat engine.

The vessel is operated by Taiwan-based Well Shipmanagment & Maritime Consultant Company Limited, a company with a track record of poor performance and repeated run-ins with safety regulators. Their fleet has a detention rate that is over five times the average for ships visiting Australian waters.

AMSA had issued several warnings to the company regarding other ships in their fleet that had been detained in recent years. As a result, Babuza Wisdom was identified as a high-risk vessel and was scheduled for an inspection by AMSA in Geelong on May 17, 2023.

During the inspection, AMSA inspectors discovered a “plethora” of deficiencies, including a defective rescue boat engine, malfunctioning reserve batteries for the MF and HF radio systems, and systemic maintenance and reporting failures within its safety management system. The AMSA said these deficiencies posed a significant risk to both safety and the environment, resulting in the Babuza Wisdom’s immediate detention.

Michael Drake, the Executive Director of Operations at AMSA, said the defective rescue boat engine alone compromised the ship’s ability to respond to emergencies such as a man overboard event, making detention necessary.

“Compounding this was the defective reserve batteries for MF and HF radio systems which means the ship had no radio back-up if it lost main engine power, which is a feasible scenario given its maintenance and reporting failures,” said Drake.

A review of regulatory interactions with other ships operated by Well Shipmanagment over the past three years revealed significant systemic failings and a pattern of unacceptable performance. Despite repeated warnings from AMSA to meet international standards, the agency says the company has consistently demonstrated systemic deficiencies that endangered the safety of seafarers and the environment.

“That is why we have taken the step to ban Babuza Wisdom from Australian waters for 90 days, which will send an even clearer message to the operator about the gravity in which we regard our role as a safety regulator and our zero-tolerance approach to sub-standard ships,” Drake added.
