Yang Ming afviser betaling - skib arresteret

De australske myndigheder har beslaglagt søsterskibet til YM Efficency, der tabte 81 containere ud for Port Stephens i 2018 på grund af en forureningsregning, som kan løbe op i omkring 92 mio. kr. Yang Ming har afvist at betale for oprydningen.

På baggrund af det taiwanesiske rederis afvisning, har en domstol nu arresteret YM Eternity søndag morgen efter at Australiens maritime myndigheder anmodede retten om at inddrive den udestående gæld.

Fem af de tabte containere er bragt i land, men 60 ligger på havets bund og 16 er fortsat ikke fundet. Regningen for at bjærge de 60 containere løber op i knap 70 mio. kr., mens det vurderes, at lokaliseringen og bjærgningen af de sidste containere vil koste omkring 22 mio. kr.

Myndighederne har hyret et selskabet Ardent Oceania til at bjærge de 60 containere. Dette arbejde ventes at begynde i marts, men myndighederne vil ikke tillade, at internationale shippingfirmaer forurener australsk farvand uden konsekvenser.

“Vores farvande skal ikke betale prisen for Yang Mings forurening - det skal Yang Ming,” siger chefen for Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA), Mick Kinley.

Ifølge de foreløbige undersøgelser tabte YM Effiency de 81 containere, da skibet rullede op mod 30 grader til bagbord og styrbord gennem 60 til 90 sekunder.
