2024年9月12日，一艘名为AM Pride的海上补给船在南非南部海岸起火。

南非海事安全局（SAMSA）报告称，15名船员已成功获救。

事故发生在西开普省莫塞尔湾以南约48.5海里处。

“AM Pride”是一艘悬挂马绍尔群岛国旗的海上补给船，长66.6米，宽16米，于周四凌晨起火。

上午10点30分左右，开普敦海上救援协调中心（MRCC）接到南非石油天然气公司（PetroSA）的求救电话，SAMSA被告知了这一事件。

船上餐厅的火灾被描述为失控。

不利的天气条件使情况更加复杂，包括3.5至5米的涌浪、时速高达30节的东南风和7海里的有限能见度。

MRCC立即通过Telkom海事服务公司启动了MayDay转播，请求附近船只的协助。两艘船只，MV Angelic Peace和MV Thunderbird，响应号召前往现场。

一架PetroSa直升机被派去营救船上的15名船员。

这架直升机成功地从救生筏上救出了8名海员，并将他们运送到附近的FA平台。其余七名船员随后获救并飞往乔治。

预计所有15名船员于2024年9月13日抵达开普敦。

与此同时，由非洲海洋解决方案公司运营的一艘名为Mkhuseli的紧急拖船正在前往遇难船只的途中。

紧急拖船预计于13日上午7时30分左右抵达现场，将“AM Pride”号拖至指定的避难地点。

据SAMSA称，该船的救援和返回安全安排正在与船东协调。

The AM Pride, an offshore supply vessel, caught fire off the southern coast of South Africa on September 12, 2024.



The South African Maritime Safety Authority (SAMSA) reported that the fifteen crew members were successfully rescued.



The incident occurred about 48.5 nautical miles south of Mossel Bay in the Western Cape region.



The AM Pride, a Marshall Islands-flagged offshore supply vessel measuring 66.6 meters in length and 16 meters in width, caught fire early Thursday morning.



The SAMSA was informed about the incident around 10:30 a.m. when the Maritime Rescue Coordinating Centre (MRCC) in Cape Town received a distress call from the Petroleum Oil and Gas Corporation of South Africa (PetroSA).



The fire in the vessel’s messroom was described as out of control.



The situation was further complicated by unfavourable weather conditions, including swells between 3.5 and 5 meters, a southeast wind gusting up to 30 knots per hour, and limited visibility of seven nautical miles.



The MRCC immediately initiated a MayDay relay through Telkom Maritime Services requesting assistance from nearby vessels.  Two vessels, the MV Angelic Peace and MV Thunderbird, responded to the call and headed to the scene.



A PetroSa helicopter was dispatched to rescue the 15-member crew of the vessel.



The helicopter managed to rescue eight seafarers from a life raft and transported them to the nearby FA platform.  The remaining seven crew members were later rescued and flown to George.



All fifteen crew members are expected to arrive in Cape Town by September 13, 2024.



Meanwhile, an Emergency Towing Vessel named Mkhuseli, operated by African Marine Solutions, is en route to the distressed vessel.



The Emergency Towing Vessel is expected to arrive at the site around 7:30 a.m. on September 13 to tow the AM Pride to a designated place of refuge.



According to SAMSA, the vessel’s rescue and return to safety arrangement is being coordinated with the owners.
