Vale udfaser konverterede malm-giganter

Tidligere i denne uge lossede det sidste konverterede VLOC - Very Large Ore Carrier - sin last af malm i Kina og markerede dermed den brasilianske minegigant Vale´s afslutning på brugen af disse gamle ombyggede skibe, der er blevet ramt af flere og flere fejl - og Stella Daisy´s tragiske forlis i 2017.

Vale annoncerede tidligere i år beslutningen om at stoppe brugen af de gamle ombyggede skibe, der har været under stærk kritik efter Stella Daisy´s forlis, der kostede 22 ud af 24 besætningsmedlemmer livet.

“Efter Vale´s nye tilgang til risikostyring, der blev besluttet i januar 2020, har Vale besluttet at udfase alle konverterede skibe enten gennem tidlig opsigelse eller ændring af kontrakter. Vale bevarer sin konkurrenceevne i forhold til transport gennem langvarige kontrakter med rederier om brug af mere effektive og moderne skibe som Valemax og Guaibamax,” hed det i erklæring af mineselskabet.

Polaris, der ejede Stella Daisy og var blandt dem, der ejede flest af denne type ombyggede skibe, har netop solgt det sidste til skrot.
