Wagenborg拥有的一艘悬挂荷兰国旗的普通货船Alaskaborg向大西洋泄漏了12个多小时的石油。荷兰海事纪律法院最近的裁决证实了这一点。法院认定船长和轮机长有过错,并分别吊销他们各自8周的执照,并对两人处以2000欧元的罚款。
这艘2012年建造的船舶,在2022年2月发生事故时,船长和轮机长没有意识到事故的严重性,因此做出了上述决定。
据悉,这艘船于2022年2月7日从加拿大的Baie Comeau出发,驶向鹿特丹。
货物由破碎的碳阳极组成,这些阳极被分成两个货舱。在阿拉斯加装货的时候,雪下得很大,很大。当装载一号货舱时,雪比装载二号货舱时要小。
2022年2月9日,二号舱前方的舱底井舷侧响起警报。当时,该船正在纽芬兰岛以南行驶,船长和轮机长得出结论,造成警报的主要原因是雪融化或进水。由于当时的情况,决定不进入货舱进行检查,同时启动舱底喷射器,并一直持续到天气好转。
舱底喷射器开启了12个多小时。然而,经过检查,很明显,油箱7SB上的一个洞是警报响起的原因。
这表明油滑入货舱和舱底井舷侧,最终落水。经过计算,后来确定该船损失了约54.7立方厘米的极低硫燃料油(VLSFO),其中一部分泄漏到大西洋。事件发生时,加拿大海岸警卫队报告称,约有30000升VLFSO泄漏到海洋中。
泄漏是由于船只的油箱受损,加上甲板舱口的环断裂,然后舱口落入船舱并刺穿油箱。

英文原文
A Dutch-flagged general cargo vessel, the Alaskaborg, owned by Wagenborg, leaked oil into the Atlantic for over 12 hours. This was confirmed via the most recent ruling by the Dutch Maritime Disciplinary Court. The court found that the ship captain and the chief engineer were at fault and suspended their licenses for eight weeks for each and fined both €2,000.
The decision was made based on the fact that the captain of the ship and the chief engineer could not identify the seriousness of the situation wherein the 2012-built vessel caught itself in February 2022.
Namely, the vessel sailed from Baie Comeau in Canada on 7 February 2022 toward Rotterdam.
The cargo comprised crushed anodes of carbon that were divided between two holds. When loading Alaskaborg, it had been snowing quite hard. When loading hold one, it was snowing less than while loading hold two.
On 9 February 2022, an alarm rang in the bilge well portside forward of hold two. At that time, the vessel was moving south of Newfoundland, with the ship captain and its chief engineer concluding that the leading cause for this alarm was melting snow or the water ingress. Due to the conditions, it was decided not to step into the hold for examination, and the bilge ejector was activated simultaneously and kept on until the weather got better.
The bilge ejector was turned on for more than 12 hours. However, on examination, it became obvious that one hole in the fuel tank 7SB was the reason for the alarm going off.
This indicates that the oil slipped into the cargo hold and the bilge well portside and ended up overboard. On calculations, it was later established that the vessel lost about 54.7 cbm of Very Low Sulphur Fuel Oil (VLSFO), a part spilling into the Atlantic. The Canadian Coast Guard, at the time of this incident, reported that about 30,000 litres of VLFSO had spilled in the ocean.
The leak was brought about by the impairment to the vessel’s fuel tank coupled with rings of a deck’s hatch breaking and then, the hatch subsequently dropping into the hold and piercing the tank.
