2024年12月2日，一艘名为“马来西亚之星”的汽车运输船在柔佛海岸附近起火。这起事件发生在早上8点40分左右，距离巴都帕哈特丹戎拉博（Tanjung Laboh）约9海里。

这艘船当时正从巴生港驶往哥打京那巴鲁，船上有19名船员，其中包括18名菲律宾人和1名马来西亚人。

马来西亚海事执法局（MMEA）在收到警报后立即派遣两艘巡逻艇和一艘海警船前往现场。

浓烟从船上滚滚而出，大火离油箱很近，非常危险。考虑到高风险，船员立即撤离。

所有19名船员都被安全转移到一艘巡逻艇上，并被带上岸，没有受伤。

Batu Pahat海域的指挥官Mohammad Zaini Zainal Abidin证实了安全撤离，并表示：“到目前为止，没有收到石油泄漏的报告。”

消防行动仍在进行中，当局正在密切关注事态发展。

起火原因尚不清楚，但“马来西亚之星”号有安全问题的历史。今年6月，在孟加拉国进行的一次检查中，有关部门指出了该船火灾探测系统和风门挡板的问题。

早些时候的检查还发现了机舱内的油和脏混合物问题。

该船于1992年在中国建造，在当地注册，可容纳1466辆车。虽然没有石油泄漏的报告，但海事当局仍在继续监测该地区，以确保环境安全。

目前的重点仍然是彻底扑灭大火，并调查起火原因。

英文原文

A car carrier named Malaysia Star caught fire off the coast of Johor on December 2, 2024. The incident happened about 9 nautical miles from Tanjung Laboh, Batu Pahat, around 8:40 a.m.



The vessel was on its way from Port Klang to Kota Kinabalu, carrying 19 crew members, 18 Filipinos and 1 Malaysian.



The Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency (MMEA) immediately dispatched two patrol boats and a Marine Police vessel to the scene after receiving the alert.



Thick smoke was seen billowing from the ship, with the fire dangerously close to the fuel tanks. Given the high risk, the crew was immediately evacuated.



All 19 crew members were safely transferred to a patrol boat and brought to shore without any injuries.



Commander Mohammad Zaini Zainal Abidin from the Batu Pahat Maritime Zone confirmed the safe evacuation and said, “So far, no reports of oil spills have been received.”



Firefighting operations are still ongoing, and authorities are keeping a close watch on the situation.



The cause of the fire is still unknown, but the Malaysia Star had a history of safety issues. In June, during an inspection in Bangladesh, authorities flagged problems with the ship’s fire detection system and dampers.



Earlier inspections had also found issues with oil and dirty mixtures in the machinery spaces.



The vessel, built in China in 1992, is locally registered and has a capacity of 1,466 vehicles. While no oil spill has been reported, maritime authorities continue monitoring the area to ensure environmental safety.



The focus remains on fully extinguishing the fire and investigating what caused it.
