Maersk Mobiliser bugserer brændende skib

Maersk Supply Service nyeste ankerhåndteringsfartøj af Starfish-klassen, Maersk Mobiliser, er ankommet til det tyske containerskib Yantian Express, der er i brand i Atlanterhavet godt 650 sømil fra den canadiske kyst.

Ud over at assistere det noget mindre bjærgningsfartøj Smit Nicobar, der allerede befinder sig på positionen, med at bekæmpe ilden, er det ifølge den amerikanske kystvagt planen at Maersk Mobiliser skal bugsere det brændende skib mod canadisk havn.

En repræsentant for skibets ejer, det tyske rederi Hapag Lloyd, bekræfter at det fortsat brænder om bord på skibet, og at indsatsen koncentreres om at forhindre ilden i at sprede sig yderligere.

Talsmanden ønsker ikke at vurdere omfanget af skaderne om bord, eller kommentere på indholdet i de containere der er i brand.

Det tyskflagede containerskibs 23 mand store besætning blev i weekenden overført til bjærgningsfartøjet Smit Nicobar. Rederiet melder at alle er i god behold.

Såvel Maersk Mobiliser som Smit Nicobar er udstyret med vandkanoner, men de hårde vejrbetingelser gør det vanskeligt at bruge dem effektivt mod ilden.

Containerskibet, der har en kapacitet på 7.510 TEU, var på vej fra Colombo til Halifax da branden brød ud i en container på dækket. Branden bredte sig herfra til andre containere.

Yantian Express er 320 meter langt og bygget i 2002.
