Kaptajn får stor bøde for farlig manøvre

Det koster nu kaptajnen på et britisk fragtskib en bøde på godt 50.000 kroner, at han i marts navigerede sit skib lige ud foran en færge med over 500 mennesker om bord. Kun en hurtig undvigemanøvre forhindrede at de to skibe kolliderede.

Begge skibe befandt sig ud for Belfast, da fragtskibet Scot Leader foretog manøvrer der bragte det på kollisionskurs med den langt større færge Stena Edda.

I stedet for at dreje af mod bagbord, som godt sømandskab kræver, valgte kaptajnen på Scot Leader i stedet at øge farten på sit skib, hvilket skabte så farlig en situation, at besætningen på Stena Edda blev tvunget til at fortage en hastig undvigemanøvre til styrbord for at undgå en kollision.

En domstol i Southampton har nu idømt den 64-årige kaptajn på fragtskibet en bøde på 6.384 pund, for at have bragt andres liv i fare på grund af sine handlinger.
