澳大利亚当局已禁止悬挂塞浦路斯国旗的“和平”号散货船在三个月内进入该国港口。

这一限制是对数据显示该船严重不适航的回应，这是对Danoas Shipping船舶的一系列投诉中的最新一起。

2024年5月31日，澳大利亚海事安全局(AMSA)对“和平”号在纽卡斯尔被拘留一事采取了行动。

检查发现了重大缺陷，包括缺乏维护和关键的固定装置和舱口严重恶化。

AMSA代理执行总监Greg Witherall表示，“和平”号上发现的疏忽程度对船员的安全和海洋环境构成了重大威胁。

这起最新事件发生在Danaos航运公司之前与澳大利亚当局就苏伊士运河集装箱船发生冲突之后。

由于同样的结构问题，苏伊士运河于2024年1月被长期扣留。

尽管收到了AMSA的书面警告，要求纠正这些问题，但Danaos Shipping的行动未能证明采取了适当的纠正措施。

威瑟罗尔强调了这一局势的重要性，强调了水密和风雨密失败对和平造成的破坏性后果。

只有在完成必要的维修以解决报告的故障后，才解除了对该船的拘留。

然而，考虑到情况的严重性，AMSA禁止“和平”号在三个月内进入澳大利亚港口。

威瑟霍尔发出严厉警告，强调允许船只恶化到这种程度是不可接受的，没有任何理由。

AMSA禁止“和平”号的决定发出了一个明确的信息，即危害海上安全的行动是不允许的。

如果Danaos航运公司继续运营被发现不适航的船只，他们可能会面临额外的后果。

对“和平”号的禁令表明，AMSA坚定不移地致力于维护高标准的海上作业，保护人类生命和海洋环境。

Danaos Shipping在处理这些事件的影响时，提醒国际海事界始终优先考虑安全和遵守法规的重要性。

英文原文

Australian authorities have banned the Cypriot-flagged bulk carrier Peace from entering the country’s ports for three months.

The restriction is in reaction to data demonstrating the vessel’s significant unseaworthiness, the most recent in a string of complaints about Danoas Shipping ships.

On May 31, 2024, the Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA) took action in response to the detention of the Peace in Newcastle.

Inspections showed significant flaws, including a lack of maintenance and severe deterioration of crucial fixtures and hatches.

According to AMSA Acting Executive Director Operations Greg Witherall, the level of negligence found aboard the Peace posed substantial threats to crew members’ safety and the marine environment.

This latest incident follows Danaos Shipping’s prior encounter with Australian authorities regarding the containership Suez Canal.

The Suez Canal was detained for an extended period of time in January 2024 due to identical structural concerns.

Despite receiving a written warning from AMSA urging rectification of these issues, Danaos Shipping’s actions failed to demonstrate appropriate corrective measures.

Witherall emphasized the importance of the situation, highlighting the devastating consequences of watertight and weathertight failures on the Peace.

The vessel’s detention was lifted only when the necessary repairs were completed to solve the reported faults.

However, given the severity of the situation, AMSA banned the Peace from entering Australian Ports for three months.

Witherhall issued a stern warning, emphasising that permitting a ship to deteriorate to this extent is unacceptable, leaving no room for justifications.

AMSA’s decision to ban the Peace sends a clear message that actions jeopardizing maritime safety will not be allowed.

Danaos Shipping may face additional consequences if they continue to operate vessels that have been found unseaworthy.

The ban on the Peace demonstrates AMSA’s unwavering commitment to upholding high standards in maritime operations that protect both human lives and the marine environment.

As Danaos Shipping deals with the impact of these occurrences, the worldwide maritime community is reminded of the importance of prioritizing safety and complying with regulations at all times.
