Maersk kaptajn anholdt i Australien

Den 59-årige ukrainske kaptajn om bord på containerskibet Maersk Surabaya er anholdt af australsk politi og sigtet for at ødelægge et søkabel ud for Vestaustralien i starten af august, ved at ankre op 500 meter fra en markeret beskyttelseszone omkring kablet.

Kraftig vind betød at containerskibets ankre blev trukket hen over havbunden og ind i beskyttelseszonen, hvor de delvist ødelagde Australia Singapore Cable (ASC), et fiberkabel der strækker sig 4.600 kilometer fra Perth til Singapore og Indonesien.

Politiet løslod efterfølgende kaptajnen mod kaution, og ordre om at gå i Covid-19 isolation på et australsk hotel.

Kaptajnen er sigtet for at vise uagtsom adfærd som fører af et skib, og risikerer op til 3 års fængsel og en bøde på 30.000 dollar.

Dertil kommer udgiften til at reparere kablet, hvilket har kostet over en million dollar.

Hvis kablet var blevet revet helt over, kunne det have fået alvorlige økonomiske konsekvenser for de firmaer, ikke mindst indenfor den finansielle sektor, der benytter kablerne til at drive forretning. Kablerne er derfor klassificeret som kritisk infrastruktur, og tydeligt markedet på alle søkort.
