Dårlig vedligeholdelse årsag til DFDS-brand

Det var dårlig vedligeholdelse der var skyld i, at der udbrød en kraftig brand i maskinrummet på godsfærgen Finlandia Seaways, under en sejlads mellem Zeebrügge og Rosyth i april 2018. Det fastslår en ny rapport fra den britiske havarikommission MAIB.

Et besætningsmedlem blev kvæstet, da han flygtede fra maskinrummet under branden.

Redningstjenesten Humber blev tilkaldet og assisterede med slukningen og evakueringen af det kvæstede besætningsmedlem.

Ødelæggelserne om bord på Finlandia Seaways var så omfattende, at færgen måtte bugseres til Fayard, hvor den gennemgik en flere måneder lang reparation.

I havarirapporten slår The UK Marine Accident Investigation Branch fast, at dårlig vedligeholdelse udført af et eksternt firma, som ikke var certificeret af motorproducenten MAN Energy Solutions, var hovedårsagen til branden.

Havarikommissionen hæfter sig også ved, at der ikke var installeret åndedrætsværn på den flugtrute det kvæstede besætningsmedlem benyttede.

MAIB anbefaler at MAN Energy Solutions og Lloyd’s Register rådgiver DFDS om tiltag der forhindrer, at en lignende hændelse kan finde sted.
