MOL Comfort var i brand da det sank

Besætningsmedlemmer om bord på et af de skibe der sejlede det sunkne containerskib MOL Comfort til undsætning, oplyser ifølge den amerikanske flådekommando i Bahrain, at containerskibet var i brand da det sank

Ifølge US Navy’s Maritime Liaison Office / MARLO i Bahrain, er der store mængder olie på havoverfladen i det område hvor det 8.110 TEU store containerskib sank mandag morgen lokal tid.

Vejret i området var dårligt da ulykken indtraf og besætningen måtte klamre sig til redningsbåd og flåder i seks meter høje bølger. Alligevel slap samtlige 26 besætningsmedlemmer uskadte fra forliset.

Der er ingen nye oplysninger der kan kaste lys over, hvorfor skroget pludselig begyndte at slå revner. Containerskibet, der er 5 år gammelt, var tæt på at være fuldt lastet. MOL Comfort havde en kapacitet på 8.110 TEU og lasten svarede til 7.041 TEU, fordelt på 4.500 containere.

Den store olieansamling på havet over det sunkne containerskib befinder sig i øjeblikket mindst 200 sømil fra den nærmeste kyst.

Tabet af ski bog last kan blive meget kostbart for Japan Ship Owner’s P&I Association der har forsikret skib og last.
