Maersk Line skib i brand efter kollision

Containerskibet Safmarine Meru kolliderede lørdag aften med det tysk ejede containerskib Northen Jasper, 120 sømil øst for den kinesiske havneby Ningbo. Safmarine Meru blev alvorligt skadet og brød i brand. Den 22 mand store besætning har forladt skibet og er alle i god behold.

”Vi er meget lettede over, at besætningen er i sikkerhed og ikke er kommet alvorligt til skade”, siger Palle Brodsgaard Laursen, chef for Ship Management i Maersk Line.

Safmarine Meru, der er på 50.415 DWT, var undervejs fra Qingdao til Ningbo i Kina da kollisionen skete klokken 01.13 lokal tid.

”Det er endnu for tidligt at kommentere omstændighederne omkring kollisionen og branden. Vores fokus er nu på at slukke branden og få adgang til skibet for at vurdere skaderne på skibet og på lasten”, siger Palle Brodsgaard Laursen.

Kort efter kollisionen forlod Safmarine Meru´s besætning det brændende containerskib og blev samlet op af Northen Jasper.

Mandag morgen er der fortsat røgudvikling men ikke synlige flammer om bord på det Safmarine Meru, der nu ligger for anker mens de kinesisk myndigheder arbejder på at slukke branden.   Safmarine Meru har en kapacitet på 4.650 TEU containerskib, er bygget i 2006 og sejler under Hong Kong flag. Da kollisionen indtraf havde skibet mindre end 400 fyldte containere om bord.

Safmarine Meru er indsat på Maersk Lines TP18 service.
