由Ultrabulk公司管理的MV Ultra Galaxy号油轮搁浅后，打捞队正在努力防止可能发生的漏油造成污染。

它在南非开普敦西北部的一个偏远沿海地区搁浅。

这艘船在Duiwegat的一侧搁浅，那里有岩石景观和沙滩。

南非海事安全局（SAMSA）表示，打捞工作正在进行中，各小组正在调查周围环境和船只。

然而，恶劣的天气条件阻碍了救援行动。目前的重点是准备好设备，一旦天气好转，救援人员就可以进入船只。

这艘巴拿马注册的船重13800载重吨。在前往坦桑尼亚达累斯萨拉姆的途中，船上的18名菲律宾船员在船危险倾斜后弃船。它最终于当地时间周二晚上10点着陆。

船员们乘坐救生筏离开，被一艘渔船救起。船上载有袋装化肥、低硫燃料和液压油。

清理小组正在努力清除附近海滩上的漂浮物，并向海员和人们发出警告，提醒他们小心这些残骸。

负责该船的Transfleet World Management公司表示，目前还没有关于该船污染或泄漏的报告，但已经动用了溢油响应设备作为预防措施。

SAMSA强调，由于寒冷潮湿的天气和席卷该地区近一周的强风，救援行动已经放缓。

天气预报预测会有更多的风暴，与此同时，Transnet提到，伊丽莎白港、开普敦和萨尔达尼亚湾等主要港口的运营已经恢复。

CMA CGM的船只Benjamin Franklin在船外丢失了44个集装箱，据报道有30个集装箱受损，抵达阿尔戈阿湾避难，目前停泊在伊丽莎白港锚地。根据CMA CGM的说法，它将前往开普敦进行检查。

Salvage teams strive to prevent pollution from a potential oil leak from a grounded vessel, the MV Ultra Galaxy managed by Ultrabulk.



It ran aground in a remote coastal region which lies northwest of Cape Town in South Africa.



The ship is beached on its side in Duiwegat which has a rocky landscape and sandy beaches.



The South African Maritime Safety Authority (SAMSA) stated that salvage work was underway and teams were surveying the surroundings and the vessel.



However, rough weather conditions are hampering the operations.  The focus is to prepare the equipment which allows the salvors to access the ship once the weather improves.



The Panama-registered ship weighs 13,800 DWT.  It was on its way to Dar es Salaam, Tanzania when its crew of 18 Filipino sailors abandoned it after it listed dangerously.  It ultimately grounded at 10:00 p.m. local time on the evening of Tuesday.



The crew members left on a life raft and were saved by a fishing vessel.  The ship was carrying fertilisers in bags and also low-sulphur fuel and hydraulic oils.



Clean-up teams are working to remove flotsam from the neighbouring beaches and a warning has been issued to mariners and people to be cautious of the debris.



Transfleet World Management, responsible for the ship stated there have been no reports of pollution or a leak from the vessel, however, oil spill response equipment has been mobilised as a precautionary measure.



SAMSA highlighted that the salvage operation has been slowed due to cold and wet weather with strong winds which have engulfed the region for almost a week.



Weather forecasts have predicted more storms and in the meantime, Transnet mentioned that operations have been restored at the major ports like Port Elizabeth, Cape Town and Saldanha Bay.



The CMA CGM vessel Benjamin Franklin which lost 44 containers overboard and reported damage to 30 arrived in Algoa Bay for shelter and is now at the anchorage of Port Elizabeth.  It will go to Cape Town for inspections, per CMA CGM.
