Moin!
Der Schleppzug mit der "MSC FLAMINIA" wettert zwischen Plymouth und Brest ab, wie man bei Mikhail Voytenko gut nachlesen kann.
An der Aktion sind zur Zeit beteiligt:
"Salvage tug
Fairmount Expedition IMO 9358943, GRT 3239, built 2007, flag Netherlands.
Salvage tug
Anglian Sovereign IMO 9262742, GRT 2263, built 2003, flag UK.
Salvage tug
Carlo Magno IMO 9341251, dwt 1658, built 2006, flag Italy, AUGUSTEA IMPRESE MARITTIME E DI SALVATAGGI S.P.A."
AIS-Position muss über die Schlepper abgerufen werden, da offenbar von der MSC FLAMINIA keine Signale gegeben werden.
Wobei Mikhail Voytenko ein paar wichtige Fragen stellt:
- Why the crew left apparently seaworthy vessel without, as the following events demonstrated, any visible threat to crew and the vessel?
- Why the crew was restricted in contacts, especially with media, after rescue?
- Why the UK refused refuge presumably on July 28, and vessel had to be towed away into the Atlantic?
- Why following the UK, all other Coastal States refused refuge, and finally, only Germany granted shelter on the grounds of Germany being a State of Flag?
- Vessel was and is seaworthy, fire was under control by July 28, the shelter refusal nevertheless, was explained by fears of capsizing – it’s already the end of August, vessel was towed around in the Atlantic for more than a month, and after that, declared as “stable” by the authorities.
- Why the last leg into the Atlantic was such a long one, directed to the US, were the operator NSB and salvage going to tow the vessel to the US?
- Why MSC and NSB treated their clients in such an objectionable manner, refusing any information about the exact location of their containers on board, and probable condition of their containers?
- Does the carrier bear any responsibility for financial and moral losses suffered by clients due to his failing in providing them the timely and accurate information about their containers?
- What is the risk evaluation of the existing tariff scale in liner shipping – it’s impossible to check each container, but how profitable is it to declare hazardous goods as harmless, is it possible to make the shipping safer by applying other schemes of freight calculations? "
