Kaptajn fortsat tilbageholdt 3 år efter ulykke

Vitaly Tyutkalo, der var kaptajn om bord på containerskibet X-Press Pearl, der i maj 2021 brød i brand ud for Sri Lanka, efter at en container med farligt gods begyndte at lække, har siden ulykken været tilbageholdt af de lokale myndigheder, med et forbud mod at forlade landet.

X-Press Pearl gik ned efter at have brændt i knap 14 dage. Arkivfoto..

Han er anklaget for, men nægter sig skyldig i, to brud på Sri Lanka miljølovgivning. Men på trods af mere end tre år, er der ingen udsigt til at en retssag vil afgøre skyldsspørgsmålet.

Besætningen om bord på X-Press Pearl opdagede længe før skibet brøds i brand, at der var opståen en lækage i en container med farligt affald, men ingen havne ville tage imod skibet, så containeren kunne fjernes.

Sri Lanka nægtede også tilladelse til, at skibet kunne gå i havn. Selv efter at ilden var brudt ud, fik det ikke tilladelse til at søge havn, så ilden kunne bekæmpes.
